These may just be the easiest Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies ever! Made with no gluten or oil, these chickpea chocolate chip cookies are simple, delicious and a healthier alternative to regular cookies!

I’m not going to lie.. I was skeptical about testing out a “bean-y, legume-y” dessert type recipe. I have never experimented with the black bean brownie trend or anything like that, so I really didn’t know what to expect. It was one of those things where all the elements summed together in my head didn’t really give me much hope. Chickpeas + chocolate chips = cookies of some sort? HUH. Idk, people, idk.

But, I gave in and decided to give it a try. The chickpea cookie experimentation was happenin’. And I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome! I am officially sold on the inclusion of beans and legumes in desserts.

These cookies are legit my new fave. They hit the spot when a choco-chip craving creeps up and are much more macronutrient friendly than the average chocolate chip cookie. Chickpeas and oats form the base of the cookies, so they’re naturally gluten free. AND, there is no added oil used in this recipe. What what. AND, they’re literally the easiest thing ever. Throw all the ingredients into a blender or food processor, stir in the chippy’s, pop ’em in the oven and you’re pretty much done. Freshly baked cookies are only a few minutes away.

These are great when you’re in a pinch and just gotta get in a cookie fix. With only 7 ingredients, this simple recipe is perfect for any chocolate chip cookie lover!
