Sweet Valentines Treats (vegan & flourless)

These are a great (and for the most part healthy) treat to enjoy with your loved one this valentine day or any other day! ;) They are very tasty, easy to make and you would never know there are chickpeas in them!  :)


Here is what you'll need:

• 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained and rinsed)
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• heaping 1/8 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup ground flax
• 1/4 cup peanut butter 
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (Ghirardelli semi-sweet are vegan!)

What you'll do:

• Preheat oven 350F. 
• Blend all ingredients, except chips. 
• Mix chips in and place on a greased 8x8 pan.
• Bake for about 40min or until toothpick comes out clean!

Original recipe found here!

I used a heart shape cookie cutter once they were already baked! These are so good you can't stop eating them. What I like most about this recipe is that it tastes very light, so you don't feel that heaviness after eating a sweet treat, but the down side is that you end up eating a lot more of it as consequence!


These were my sweet valentine treats to my lovely husband! 

And these were my husband's sweet valentine gifts to me! :) I think flowers and chocolate will NEVER get old to me. I totally love receiving flowers or any thoughtful gift from my husband! He actually surprised me a few days before valentines with these, which were completely unexpected, since he's not "naturally" the flower/chocolate-giving type of guy! Totally loved it :)

 Happy Valentines everyone!!!
