Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

If the dough seems too wet, add the ground oats and pulse until incorporated and the dough thickens.

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula.
-
Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
