Ingredients
Scale
1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
1/2 cup creamy cashew butter (or any nut butter!)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 cup rolled oats or 3–4 TBSP oat flour
4 TBSP sugar (cane, coconut, whatever floats your boat)
pinch of sea salt
pinch of cinnamon
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
a dozen pitted medjool dates
flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Add all ingredients except chocolate chips and dates to a food processor, and process until smooth and creamy. You may need to pause intermittently and scrape down the sides, then continue blending.
Let dough chill for a minute, then fold in chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.
Stuff dates with a spoonful of ‘cookie dough’ and sprinkle with extra flaky sea salt if desired.
Enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
