Vegan chickpea flour chocolate chip cookies
Reinvent chocolate chip cookies with this plant-based, grain-free and gluten-free version. Not one once of taste sacrified!
Ingredients
- ¾ cups + 1 tablespoon about 75 g cold chickpea flour (put in the freezer for 15 minutes before using) *see notes
- 1/8 teaspoon a pinch sea salt
- ½ teaspoon 3.5 g baking soda
- 2 tablespoons about 30 g raw cane sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 3 tablespoons 45 ml organic canola oil (or oil of your choice)
- 3 tablespoons 45 ml Canadian maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon 5ml pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup 45 g dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients together (flour, salt, baking soda and sugar). Add all the wet ingredients (oil, maple syrup and vanilla) and mix well with a spoon until you reach a thick dough consistency. Add a bit of water if too dry. Add in the chocolate chips and mix just enough to distribute evenly.
- Using a tablespoon, make 7 to 8 balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on each cookie with your fingers.
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Careful not to overcook them if you want them to be chewy.
- Once they are done, take the cookies out of the oven, flatten each one a little using a fork. Wait until cool enough to handle and devour with a glass of plant-based milk!

Notes
This recipe only yields 6 to 8 cookies, which is ideal for a small snack for 2.
However, after comments from people who've made them, I strongly recommend you double the recipe! :)
Chickpea flour is also called besan, gram or garbanzo flour and is a lot cheaper in Asian and Indian markets. You can also make it yourself by grinding dry chickpeas into the container or your high power blender.
