Notes
- You can make your own oat flour by processing rolled oats in a blender and even leave some rolled oats intact to add more texture to the cookies.
- Reserve the chickpeas from the can for an upcoming recipe and use the brine for these cookies.
- The maple syrup can be replaced with agave or rice syrup. If you use granulated sugar instead, add more almond milk.
- Any vegan milk from soy to oat, coconut or almond milk works for these cookies.
- If you cannot have peanuts, try any other nut or seed butter such as almond butter or tahini.
- For a lower fat version, replace the peanut butter with applesauce and 1 tablespoon of PB2 powder.
