    I was going to add the Chocolate Covered Katie website because I had read the chickpea-blondie recipe but hadn't tried it yet... but someone already had it!

    Thanks for posting this topic!

    I've made them too. They're tasty.

    I cooked with Chickpeas last night - One pot Moroccan Chicken

    Coat 4 chicken breast with a teaspoon of ground cumin and black pepper fry with a little olive oil and one onion for 4 mins one side and then 3 mins the other side. Then add 2 tablespoons of harissa paste, tin of cherry tomatoes, 250ml of water, 2 courgettes and 1 tablespoon of honey simmer for 15 mins or until chicken is completely cooked. Total calories per serving was 293 calories, I served mine with rice but you could use cous cous, roasted veg what ever takes your fancy!

    Genius Blondies

    (makes 15-20 squares)

    1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained and rinsed) (250g after draining)
    3/4 tsp baking powder
    1/8 tsp baking soda heaping
    1/8 tsp salt
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1-2 tsp vanilla extract
    1/4 cup ground flax (20g)
    1/4 cup peanut butter (or other fat source)
    optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients (except chips) until very smooth in a food processor (not a blender). Mix in chips, and scoop into a greased (or tinfoil-lined) 8×8 pan. Bake for 38-40 minutes. You want the blondies to look a little undercooked when you take them out, because they’ll firm up as they cool, and you don’t want them to get hard

    Calories: 74
    Fat: 2 grams
    Sugar: 6 grams
    Protein: 2 grams

    These are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

    I have a bit of a nutella problem, and I will be trying to make this very soon to see if I can find a healthier way to enjoy nutella (because right now the only option is keeping it out of the house) I'm hoping this is good!


    Healthy Chocolate Spread

    “I would like to pass on to you my recipe for a chocolate spread using chickpeas. I know it sounds bizarre but its good, you cant taste the chickpeas and it goes so well with the chocolate. It’s a healthier and cheaper alternative and tastes best on toast.”

    â– 1 x 400g canned chickpeas, rinsed
    â– 1 tablespoon peanut butter
    â– 3 tablespoons oil
    ■½ cup cocoa powder
    ■½ cup caster sugar (I use 2/3 cup honey)
    â– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    â– 4 tablespoons of water
    Blend all ingredients in food processor/blender and add each tablespoon of water till desired consistency is reached.

    Place in jar and store in fridge.

    I saw that someone had already posted a falafel recipe, but I've been using this one lately, and it's super tasty. It's baked, so not a huge amount of fat, but it doesn't taste like an adapted recipe. The first time I made it, I didn't drain the chickpeas enough and they were too wet to make into ball shapes. I just put them on a baking sheet like cookies and caked them a little longer, worked perfectly!!

    Check out www.vegweb.com It's basically a vegan/vegetarian version of allrecipes.com. I love that the recipes are rated with user reviews and suggestions for improvements and/or alternative ingredients.


    The recipes suggested here on the forum are fantastic though! I can't wait to try some of them!

    Drain liquid and put on cookie sheet turn oven to 450 sprinkle with garlic salt, chili powder (any type of dried spice you like for the flavor) dried ranch packets roast in oven for 40 mins shaking the sheet to rotate them about every 10 mins. High protien tasty on the go snack similar to flavor roasted peanuts

    ^ I do this, but w/ cumin, ground ginger, all-spice. Salt and black Pepper.
    I also spray a bit of olive oil.

    I keep a bunch in the fridge and either add it to salads or use as a topping w/ roasted cauliflower on whole wheat pasta, etc.
