Came out just as the recipe indicates! My 11 month ate two warm and was pointing at the cooling rack for more. — These were easy, quick, delicious and a great way to get more beans into my kiddo. Will definitely be making again! For fahrenheit ovens, I did 16 mins on 355° and the texture was 👌🏻!
Thanks for the Farenheit update for us, so helpful to know!
Glad your little one was liking them so much 🙂
Both my baby and I loved these! Super easy and came out perfect. (That means something, I ruin almost everything I bake 😂)
Woo, so glad they were able to work for you
My 14 month old thought these were FANTASTIC
And they are the toughest critics!
Another great success for our 18mo. Super easy and she can’t get can’t get enough of them.
So glad to hear! 🙂
what alternative to chickpeas would you recommend and what quantity? Thank you in advance!
White beans/cannellini beans work great here!
Can I use sunflower butter in stead?
yes of course!
These are really nice, excellent consistency and don’t fall apart like other healthy cookie recipes. I actually like having them for myself for breakfast too! I’ve tried this recipe with blueberries added (which was delicious) and we also do chocolate chips in them now my daughter is older. Best cookie recipe I’ve found! You can’t even taste the chickpeas!!
Thank you for this! So happy to know you guys like them. And love the sound of adding blueberries and choc chips too. Will need to try that x
