    2-Bite Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

    A healthy version of a classic favorite, these 2-Bite Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect treat for you and your little ones!

    2 Bite Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I love, love, love how food and recipes brings people together -- especially moms! After all, whether we see ourselves as gourmet chefs, home cooks, or complete novices, we all have to feed our families sometimes. These sweet little treats are a great example of that!

    Today's recipe is another great idea from a childhood friend of mine. Becca and I went to school together from elementary school all of the way through high school, and then parted ways. A few years down the road now and we both have babies about the same age (her daughter Quinnlyn is slightly younger than Spence), and we have had fun reconnecting on Facebook and through this blog. Here's a recent picture of Becca and baby Quinnlyn...just look at those cheeks and chunky baby thighs -- adorable!!!

    When Becca sent me this recipe for a healthy version of chocolate chip cookies, my curiosity was piqued! My kids love chocolate, I love a healthy spin on old favorites, and the cookies came highly recommended by a trusted source. And since Becca got the recipe from another friend who loved it, I knew that I better get into my kitchen FAST!

    I wasn't sure how my kids would react to cookies that were made from peanut butter, walnuts, and...garbanzo beans?!?! Yes, the ingredients sound a bit odd, but you know what? These have been a HUGE hit in my house! I didn't call them "healthy" and I didn't advertise the list of wholesome ingredients when I was feeding my family. They just loved the taste (and the chocolate/peanut butter combination), and the fact that they're so cute and bite-sized!

    You should see the boys' excitement each time I allow them to have a bowl of these "cookies" for snack. They think that they're really getting away with something...

    Since there are no eggs in this recipe, you can also feel free to eat the dough raw. It really tastes amazing! And once you do bake them for a few minutes, the result is a crusty outside with a soft, moist inside. Give them a try!

      This recipe is so cool! I've always meant to try things like cookies w/ chickpeas or brownies with black beans and I've never done it! They look delicious. I've got to give these a go!

      P.S. Your friend's daughter is adorable, and the name Quinnlyn?? Couldn't love it more. How cute. TGIF! Have a great weekend, Blair!!

      Thanks so much for this recipe, Blair! We aren't a gluten-free family, but we have quite a few friends who are. Pinning this one for sure on a few boards. Thanks, again.

        We aren't a gluten free family, either, Heather...but these are delicious (and healthy!) regardless! Enjoy. 🙂

      Hmm, that sounds like it's worth the try. I personally don't like beans, but if I could hide it and not taste the "bean" flavor, I'd be all over it. Thanks!

      Hey! I am exited to try these! What kind of chocolate chips did you use? Greetings from Germany! Kati

        Hi, Kati! Thanks so much for visiting. 🙂 I just used regular Toll House Milk Chocolate Chips (because that's what I had on hand). You could also use the miniature chocolate chips (those would be great!), semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, cinnamon chips, or anything else that sounds good. If you're gluten or dairy-free, I know that they also sell allergy-friendly chocolate chips that you could look for as well. Enjoy!

      Garbanzo beans is something I would've never thought to use in a cookie. I'll have to give this a try and not let anyone know the secret ingredient. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.

      These look absolutely amazing! I've been looking for a good flourless cookie and this looks like a winner. Being a diabetic I'll need to make a tweak to it and change out the maple syrup, but I'm making these suckers!!

      I just made these today and they are wonderful! My kids love them too. Should they be kept in the fridge? Or are they okay just in an airtight container on the counter?

        Awesome! I'm so glad that you like them! I actually did both -- I kept some out on the counter for a few days. If there were extras that I didn't think we'd eat right away, I just kept them in the refrigerator. I bet they would also freeze really well, but I haven't tried it myself. 🙂
