Jump to Recipe

I’m convinced that there’s nothing better than a warm and gooey chocolate chip cookie. These chocolate chip chickpea cookie bars take all my favorite parts of a chocolate chip cookie (chocolatey goodness, gooey middle, sweetness) and combine it with plant-based protein to make these bars more satiating so you don’t have that sugar crash an hour later. They’re the perfect dessert or grab-and-go snack!

One of the best parts of this recipe is that you can easily mix together all the ingredients in your food processor! Just combine everything, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth. If your food processor isn’t big enough to accommodate all the ingredients, that’s okay! Just use the food processor for the chickpeas and rolled oats, and then you can mix everything else together by hand.

Stir in the chocolate chips and pour cookie batter into a greased 8×8″ glass baking dish.
