I have to share this recipe I made this, this weekend and it is fantastic – CRACK! I originally found this on Pinterest but I quickly realized it is from my new favorite cooking blog Chocolate Covered Katie. This recipe is absolutely FANTASTIC! Both kids loved it (they really did). I made some substitutions for the recipe, we didn’t have nut butter so I did use coconut oil.
I modified her recipe so this is what I used
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 Cup (1 Can) of Garbanzo Bean
- 1/8 tsp of Salt
- 1/8 tsp of Baking Soda
- 2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
- 3 TBSP of Coconut Oil (this will give it a slight coconut flavor but my family loves coconut so it is okay – check out Chocolate Covered Katie to see other substitutions)
- 1/4 Cup Almond Milk
- 2/3 Cup of Brown Sugar (this was a tad too sweet for my taste and probably prevented me from eating the whole thing, not a bad thing – my kids loved the sweetness)
- 3 TBSP Oats (I used regular Rolled Oats)
- 1/3 Cup of Chocolate Chips (I was told I needed to add more so we added close to a 1/2 Cup)

Puree everything in a Food Processor expect Chocolate Chips. Once completely mixed scoop into a bowl and add chocolate chips. Refrigerate or serve immediately with Graham Crackers.

I’ll have to try these. I’ve never made cookies that are even slightly healthy. 🙂
