Plant power cookies
Plant based protein from nuts, seeds and whole grain oats packs a powerful punch in these naturally sweet, chewy and crunchy cookies. The perfect afternoon pick you up!
Ingredients
1 400g can of chickpeas, drained
1/2 C peanut butter
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
2 Tbsp each of pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1/4 C whole almonds
1 Tbsp water
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp cinnamon
1 C wholegrain oats
1/2 C dried cranberries
1/4 C cacao nibs or chopped dark chocolate (optional)
Directions
Add all ingredients, except the last 3 to a food processor. Process until well combined.
Scoop out into a bowl, add oats, cranberries and cacao nibs/dark chocolate. Stir until well combined.
Roll out walnut sized balls and flatten with a fork. These will not spread much as they bake so you can fit about 10-12 per tray. Cook for approx 15 minutes, but keep an eye on them (depending on how your oven cooks).
Enjoy them with a cuppa for your afternoon pick me up. Makes approx 16 biscuits.
Yum! Sarah X
