Almond flour is gluten-free and adds moisture.

Start with chickpeas as the secret ingredient for creaminess and protein.

Add peanut butter powder (or regular peanut butter/almond butter if preferred).

Sprinkle in oats and ground flax seed for binding and extra fiber.

Drizzle in maple syrup for sweetness.

Add a pinch of salt and a splash of plant milk to help blend everything together.

Blend until smooth, thick, and creamy, adding more milk if it looks dry.

Incorporate vanilla extract into the mixture for flavor.

Check the texture to ensure it's soft and creamy.

Transfer the dough to a bowl and mix in vegan chocolate chips.

Roll the dough into bite-sized balls.

If the dough is soft or sticky, chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm up.

Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or in the freezer for about a month.
