Chickpeas – You can use the canned chickpeas or cook some from dried garbanzo beans.
Peanut Butter Powder , also known as Powdered Peanut Butter. I recommend Lakanto for a sugar free version (the code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount). Or you could use the one from PbFit too.
Vanilla Protein Powder to make this high protein garbanzo bean cookie.
I used part I used whey-caesin Vanilla protein powder from Quest Nutrition, and part Whey Vanilla from ProteinWorld for this recipe to keep it sugar free.; Use the code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount.
A bit of Coconut Flour
Maple Syrup the Sugar-free from Lakanto again (same discount code here)
Unsweetened Almond Milk or another non dairy or regular milk
Some Creamy Peanut Butter
Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Chips – I use sugar free ones from Lakanto here too (same discount again). Lily’s is another sugar-free option!

If your protein powder is not sweet enough, you might need some more maple syrup, or use stevia sweetener instead.

Tips for the best Protein Powder Chickpea Cookies

These protein powder chickpea cookies are really easy to make, but here’s some tips to get them actually tasty and perfect!

Take off the skin from the chickpeas – it makes the mixture more smooth.

Use ‘Pulse’ setting on food processor so the mix doesn’t puree.

Use room-temperature milk so it blends well and doesn’t harden the peanut butter.

Add the coconut flour at the end along with the chocolate chips – this way you can avoid the risk of it turing into paste too.
