YES! REALLY REALLY!

I know it sounds interesting. But I’ve made these countless times and truly perfected this fool proof recipe. I’ve shared these cookies with all my friends and family and guess what? Not a single complaint! No, they aren’t just being nice. My nieces and nephews have no problem being brutally honest with me…maybe to a fault. 🙂

Did I mention how EASY these cookies are to make?

Just add ALL of the ingredients to your food processor and process until smooth. My favourite kind of recipe! The prep work practically does itself.

Next, you will form your chickpea cookies onto a prepared baking sheet using a metal tablespoon. This recipe makes about 30 cookies, so use a large baking tray. I use a tablespoon and then gently slide the batter off with one finger. These cookies are truly quick and easy. So if you need dessert or breakfast ideas in a pinch, make this your go to! You won’t be disappointed, and your kids will thank you!

I know my kids have no problem eating cookies for breakfast. Well now they can and I feel good about the nutrients and wholesome ingredients they’re consuming! You can definitely make a double batch of these and freeze some for easy breakfasts during a busy work week. I’m personally always making a double batch of these because they just don’t seem to last long!
