Okay, so these biscuits may sound strange, but trust me, they are 
a huge hit every time I make them.
And the best part, no one suspects they are loaded with 
chickpeas. They are so easy to make, have only a few ingredients 
and honestly, they’re a sweet treat you can enjoy totally guilt-
free.
 You must try them. You’ll be totally shocked at the result. 100% 
whole ingredients too. And so many variations possible. Chickpeas 
are tiny little legumes that originated from India. They are packed 
with protein, making them a complete source of vegetarian & vegan 
protein.

Chickpeas are an incredibly great 
ingredient, and being a high-protein 
food, they can add a lot of nutritional 
value to your favorite dishes. Especially 
for kids, they’ll be none the wiser that 
their cookie treat is actually healthy.  
Chickpeas contain 16g of protein per 
cup, along with virtually no fat. Now you 
know what to add to your food if you’re 
looking for a quality source of protein. 
Also, they’re high in fiber, potassium, 
and folate, making them good for your 
health as well. Chickpeas are an 
excellent source of protein, containing 
more grams per cup than both cooked 
beans and meat. Chickpeas are also rich 
in fiber, and 100 calories of chickpeas 
will help you feel full longer 
In this recipe we swap out butter for peanut butter making it 
vegan friendly too! Peanut butter contains protein, 
monounsaturated fats, fibre, and Vitamin E. This makes it a great 
alternative to butter or margarine in these cookies, as it has 
similar binding properties and they will hold together well.
You can also make this recipe with macadamia butter, or substitute 
any other kind of nut butter. And if you want to add some fruit 
flavour, try adding sultanas or cranberries.
