These peanut butter cookies might be a bit different but they’re actually delicious and you’d have no idea they’ve got chickpeas in them. They’ve got a soft texture, with a bit of crunch from the chocolate and pumpkin seeds. A great healthy protein snack that is perfect for lunchboxes or that snack on the run, which freeze perfectly too!
