This recipe might seem a little bit weird at first but once yu take a bite you will regret not trying it sooner. Garbanzo bean flour is a great gluten free alternative for cookies. Its much healthier than eating regular ol' flour. Its fun to experiment with different flours as well! Baking and cooking is all about trying new things and finding out what taste good together. The texture of these cookies are absolutely perfect though. By far one of the best I made. The chickpea flour makes them so soft and chewy. It makes for perfect cookies. I think it would work awesome for brownies too. Ill try that next. This recipe would be easy to make gluten free, just substitute the whole wheat flour for any other gluten free flour. You could try and use just garbanzo bean flour but it is very soft and absorbs liquids easily leaving the consistency fairly sticky. I do advise using either gluten free whole wheat or unbleached white flour. I definitely will be posting more baked goods with garbanzo bean flour. I love how veganism gets more interesting and fun!

Vegan garbanzo (chickpea) flour chocolate chip cookies
Recipe
Makes 350F
1 cup bob red mills Garbanzo(chickpea) bean flour
1 1/4 cup organic whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup enjoy life vegan chocolate mega chunks
1/4 cup earth balance butter, melted
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1 banana, mashed
4 tablespoons spoons organic coconut milk
Steps
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Combine ingredients, flour to chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Stir together well with a fork, making sure there is no clumps in your dry mix. In a medium sized bowl mix your melted earth balance and sugar. Mash 1 banana in a measuring cup and add 4 tablespoons of organic coconut milk. Mix together well and add it to your butter and sugar. Mix together well. Create a well in the middle of your dry mix and add your wet mix. Stir everything together with a large spoon for 5 minutes. If your mix is still too sticky you can add tablespoons of flour one at a time. Once your cookie dough is ready you can rub earth balance on your cookie sheet for baking. Scoop out one large spoon of cookie dough and place it on the pan.
They should be about an inch and a half across in size. Flatten out your cookies with a fork so its relatively flat. Repeat that until your cookie dough is finished. I made 15! Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthy dessert!
