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)

Gluten-Free Brownie

Hello everyone, today I have a delicious and gluten-free brownie recipe for you.I made this recipe twice and in my opinion it's an amazing healthy,vegan and gluten-free brownie alternative! I braught it to school once and my classmates said that it tasted very "natural" (this really made me laugh!) but still pretty good,for my part I must say that my family and I demolished an entire batsh in one day. I must say taugh,this brownie recipe is not as sweet as a conventional brownie.I think that's why peaple thaught it tasted "natural".

I used maple syrup to sweeten the cake but you can also use caned sugar,apple sauce or date spread.When using apple sauce make sure to use quit a lot and to ad cocoa powder or flour,otherwise the concistency of the bather might be to liquidie. If you choose to use date spread,blend 1 cup of dates with 1/2 cup water in a food procesor until you get an even and creamy paste.

without further ado,let's get started with the recipe!
