Chickpea Cookies

Hello everyone,

I'm sitting at my desk,all snuggled up in a blue oversize sweater with greasy hair keeping me company,tipping up some blog post and sipping hot ginger tea.HELL YES IT'S SUNDAY!
I've just had pumpkin curry and the Arctic Monkeys are playing in the background....Can life get any better? I don't think so ;)
I'm all over baking right know,I've baked chickpea cookies yesterday and I might make some tomorrow too.My baking addiction is real guys!No I'm just being cheeky,passion is a good thing right?

Anyway,chickpeas have proven themselves as reliable baking friends;they make pastry crumbly,keeping the texture perfectly moist.I might try to bake an apple pie next week,using this cookie recipe for the crust.Wish me luck,I will report back on it next week!
By the way,I really recommend using almond extract it makes the cookies taste like frangipane pastry <3

Chickpea Cookies makes about 12 cookies

Ingredients -1 can chickpeas -3/4 cup oat flour -1 cup dates -1 tsp baking soda -4 tbsp melted coconut oil or apple sauce -1 tbsp vanilla or almond extract -1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

2.Blend all the ingredients in a food processor until you get a cookie like dough.

3.Slightly wet your hand before taking 1 tbsp of dough and rolling it into a ball,place it on the baking sheet and gently press down to form a cookie.

Carrot Cake Muffins

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're having a great week so far.It's Sunday and I'm very pleased with myself,because I got quite a few things done this week!School starts tomorrow and I try my best to do the most of my last day of summer break.Why do all good things have to come to an end?It feels like yesterday was 1 July and I was packing for vacation,all exited for the upcoming adventures,but we've already entered the month of September,sick!Looking back,I've had the most amazing summer break in a long time with lots of incredible moments to remember ;)

Either way,today it's all about those delicious,moist and flavorful carrot cake muffins.And guess what....I've used no oil for this recipe and they are very low in fat!
Those goodnesses are very similar to ones in my previous post on Cherry Muffins,the bather is the same I've just replaced the cherry's with grated carrots,added some nuts and coconut flakes and switched up the spices.What I'm trying to say is that you could also do chocolate,blueberry,pumpkin or even lemon muffins using the same bather,only replacing a few ingredients.
To put it in a nutshell,I'll see you next week with a new recipe,enjoy your Sunday and let's get started with the recipe!
