Flinders Alumni, Rebecca Greco has another tasty recipe for you to try at home:
Makes approximately 10 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, rinsed
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg (for vegans, replace with 2 tablespoons of the canned chickpea liquid)
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Handful of sultanas
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C.
- Use a high-speed blender or food processor to blend the chickpeas, peanut butter, egg, almond meal, maple syrup, vanilla essence, baking powder and salt.
- When well combined, pour into a bowl and stir through the sultanas.
- Roll heaped tablespoons of the mixture into balls and flatten onto a baking tray with baking paper (I like to use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion the cookies).
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until just golden on top. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
