Because these cookies are made without refined flour, they are much healthier than other recipes since they have much more fiber and a good amount of protein. However, since they are sweetened, it is recommended that diabetics consume them in very moderate amounts and as part of a program to eliminate insulin resistance.<\/h2>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
\n
1 ¼<\/span> cups<\/span> chickpeas, cooked and well-rinsed<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tsp<\/span> vanilla extract<\/span><\/div>\n
6<\/span> tbsp<\/span> peanut butter<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> cup<\/span> honey, maple syrup or agave<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tsp<\/span> non-aluminum baking powder<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> pinch<\/span> salt<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> cup<\/span> carob chips<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Pre-heat oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Combine all ingredients except carob chips or raisins in a food processor and process until there are no large pieces left (be sure to scrape the sides of the processor and reprocess if necessary). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the carob chips. The mixture will be sticky and thick. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Wet your hands and form small balls or use a spoon to form cookies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Place the balls on a greased oven tray or covered with parchment paper. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Crush each ball to form the cookies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The cookies will still be soft when they come out of the oven so make sure to cool them before you store them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cookies can be stored outside the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or refrigerate for a week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1949,"featured_media":16923,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2708],"yst_prominent_words":[1565,1584,1038],"class_list":["post-20984","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-sweets","cp_recipe_cuisine-american","cp_recipe_cooking_method-baking","cp_recipe_tags-30-minutes-or-less","cp_recipe_tags-diabetes","cp_recipe_tags-low-fat","cp_recipe_tags-recipe-videos","cp_recipe_tags-soy-free"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1949"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20984"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
