Ahhh, fall is finally here, and you know what that means…pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING.

It was inevitable that I share a recipe here, but I promise you this is a winner — and of course sweet, simple and vegan 😉 I decided I would play around with my Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, a recent hit on my blog (thank you all so so much for the love) and one of my absolute favorite recipes, EVER <3

I filmed a brand new video (above) for this recipe, I hope you guys like it!vegan Pumpkin Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet from sweetsimplevegan.cokm

Protein-packed with chickpeas, sweetened naturally by dates + a good chunk of your daily soluble fiber from the oats. I actually think that I will continue making this recipe from pumpkin from now on, because the addition took this to the next level.

I must say though, the pumpkin isn’t very apparent in this cookie, almost undistinguishable. I actually intended for it to be more pumpkin-y, but this variation was PERFECT and I can’t settle for any other way. It’s so much more moist and fluffy! It earned a bite of approval from my whole (non-vegan) family, the whole tray gone in two days!

These pumpkin chickpea chocolate chip cookies are perfectly sweet, easy to make and are gluten, oil, refined sugar-free. Kids love them, too!


Ingredients

  • 1 chia egg (1 tbsp of chia seeds + 3 tbsps water)*
  • 12 soft pitted medjool dates (soaked in hot water for 10 mins then drained)

  2. Blend all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor, until smooth.
  3. Mix in the chocolate chips (in that bowl or in another if easier).
  4. Scoop 2 tbsp sized rounds onto a baking sheet and flatten them out to about 1/3″ thick.
  5. Bake for 16-19 minutes.
  6. Cool then dig in.

    What size are the dates? Neglet or medjool? Would love to make but don’t want to screw it up! 🙂

  5. Kelly Jones says:

    Excuse my last comment! Watched your helpful video and saw that you used medjool 🙂 in the oven now!

  6. Even though it’s winter, I’d TOTALLY make these cookies. Pumpkin should be enjoyed year-round in my honest opinion!
