On the 2nd Day of Fitmas, Coach Wendy gave to me:
- 2 awesome burpees
- and a 1 minute holiday plank
You really can’t and shouldn’t have to avoid cookies and treats all together this time of the year! I have found 3 really good, healthy alternatives to some of my favorite cookie recipes. I hope you all enjoy them, too!
Today’s recipe uses a unique ingredient, and you need to taste it before you decide. These are seriously delicious!
Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies:
1 1/4 C of chickpeas (rinsed, drained and dried with a paper towel)
1/2 C plus 2 T of natural peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/4 C honey
2 t vanilla
1 t baking powder
1/2 C chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life making these dairy free)
Put all the ingredients except the chocolate chips into a high speed blender or food processor. Blend until creamy. Stir in the chocolate chips. I use a small ice cream scoop to make my cookies- about 1 1/2 inch balls. You can flatten them if you want them to be more like normal cookies. Bake on parchment paper for about 10 minute at 350. They will store well in an airtight container for up to a week, if they make it that long!
This recipe made 14 balls for me. I would have 1 as a treat swap if following the 21 Day Fix.
Enjoy!
