Notes

You can use maple syrup or honey if you prefer.
Use your favourite nut butter and protein powder. I used sachi inchi powder here which has a slight nutty taste to it.
Make sure you rinse chickpeas well. I boiled and rinsed mine to make sure I don't get as much bloating from it.
If you find that the cookie dough is a little dry, simply add a few drops of plant based milk and continue blending.
