Chickpea and Chocolate Chip Cookies?

These cookies are simple, flour-less, egg-less, dairy-less- but not tasteless!
Rachel our Office Manager brought them to work the other day and we ate them right up. Thank You Rachel!

15 ounces of whole chickpeas (if can- drain and rinse)
1/2 cup peanut butter (the real stuff)
1/4 cup maple syrup (the real stuff)
2 tsps vanilla extract

1 tbs baking powder

1/3 cup oatmeal (optional, I included it)

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Blend or Cuisinart all but chocolate chips. Fold in chocolate chips.
Mix in chocolate chips and bake at 375 until the top cracks, and the bottom is golden brown.
