Ingredients

1/2 can chickpeas or white beans, drained and rinsed

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

scant 1/8 tsp salt

scant 1/8 tsp baking soda

2 tablespoons nut butter or oil (If you use peanut butter, they’ll have a slight “pb cookie dough” taste.)

1/3 cup brown sugar (

2 T chocolate chips, or more if desired

1-2 T rolled oats or quick oats (or flaxmeal)

optional: 1 bag chocolate chips,

optional: nondairy milk if needed, to thin it out chocolate sauce

Preparation

Add all ingredients (except chocolate chips) to a food processor, and blend until very smooth.

Then mix in the chocolate chips and form balls. (I used a melon baller.)

You can eat these plain, but if you wish to cover them in chocolate, proceed thusly: Allow to chill in the fridge. Once chilled, melt chocolate chips with 2 tsp coconut oil (or shortening). Take the balls from the fridge and cover in chocolate, then return them to the fridge to harden.
