19 Oct Pumpkin Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies {Gluten- Oil- & Refined Sugar Free}
Ahhh, fall is finally here, and you know what that means…pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING.
It was inevitable that I share a recipe here, but I promise you this is a winner —Β and of course sweet, simple and vegan π I decided I would play around with my Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, a recent hit on my blog (thank you all so so much for theΒ love) and one of my absolute favorite recipes, EVER <3
I filmed a brand new video (above) for this recipe, I hope you guys like it!Protein-packed with chickpeas, sweetened naturally by dates + a good chunkΒ of your daily soluble fiber from the oats. I actually think that I will continue making this recipe from pumpkin from now on, because the addition took this to the next level.
I must say though, the pumpkin isn’t very apparent in this cookie, almost undistinguishable. I actually intended for it to be more pumpkin-y, but this variation was PERFECTΒ and I can’t settle for any other way. It’s so much more moist and fluffy! It earned a bite of approval from my whole (non-vegan) family, the whole tray gone in two days!Β If you want to check out the original OG version of this recipe (without the pumpkin), you can check it out by clicking here or the image above!
And why oil-free? Check out Mic The Vegan’s video on oil, he presents it perfectly and is a great resource if you want to learn about the affects of oil.
