Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls

Adapted from the incredible Ambitious Kitchen’s Chickpea Blondies

Makes ~24 balls

• 1 1/2 cups boiled chickpeas (or canned, rinsed and drained)
• 1/2 cup peanut butter- the kind that only has 1 ingredient: peanuts
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (try using 1/3 cup of moist pitted dates instead!)
• 1 1/4 tsp maca powder (or vanilla extract, I don’t have vanilla and maca is like vanilla cupcakes)
• squeeze some juice from 1/4 of a lime
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (ground powder would probably work too)
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (or vegan dark chocolate chips)
• Cacao powder for dusting

1. Put all ingredients except chopped nuts(or chocolate chips) in a food processor (S blade) or in a high speed blender like a Vitamix. Blend until smooth like cookie dough.
2. Fold in chopped nuts with a spoon
3. Using a tablespoon, form 24 balls and roll with your hands, set aside.
4. Put about 1/4 cup of cacao powder in a small bowl and roll ~3-4 balls at a time in the cacao powder
5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and, normally I would say share with loved ones but this one you’re going to want to hide in the back and keep them all to yourself. *see no evil* Savor in good health!
