Ultimate Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Chickpea Flour, Peanut Butter, and Oats

Ingredients

• 1 cup of tightly packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup of softened butter
• 1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1 whole egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (adjust to taste)
• 2 cups of chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of chopped chocolate chunks
• 1/2 cup of rolled oats
• 1/4 cup of optionally added chopped walnuts

Step 1

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, egg, and a splash of vanilla extract, blending until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold this flour mixture into the peanut butter blend. Add in the chocolate, oats, and walnuts, mixing until everything is well incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Once chilled, shape the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a tablespoon, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each one.

Step 5

Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes until they turn a lovely golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious homemade treats!
