Equipment

  • High-quality food processor (Cuisinart recommended)
  • spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

Optimized Components

  • 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (or white beans, 1 can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • just over 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (of choice or allergy friendly sub)
  • up to 1/4 cup milk of choice (only if needed)
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar Recommended for authenticity (or other sweetener)
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 2-3 tbsp quick oats (or almond flour or flaxmeal as needed to thicken)

Instructions
 

Foolproof Procedure

  • If using brown sugar, ensure it is packed properly. If using liquid sweeteners (agave, maple, etc.), be aware you may need to reduce the milk/liquid content or increase thickener.
  • Add all ingredients *except* for chocolate chips to a high-quality food processor.
  • Process the mixture for a minimum of 90 seconds continuously, scraping down the sides every 30 seconds with a spatula, until a smooth, velvety sheen develops on the surface.
  • Stop the machine and gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • If the dough seems too dry or crumbly after mixing in chips, add milk (up to 1/4 cup total) one teaspoon at a time until it just becomes cohesive. Do not over-process after adding milk.
  • Serve immediately for a classic texture, or chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.

Notes

For authentic flavor, brown sugar is highly recommended over liquid sweeteners due to its molasses content and granulated structure which aids in processing. If using liquid sweeteners, increase your thickener (oats/flour) by 1 tablespoon to compensate for extra hydration. Rinse chickpeas thoroughly until the water runs clear and bubbles cease to remove metallic flavors. If the food processor motor feels warm, pause for 60 seconds to allow it to cool, which will help soften the nut butter for a smoother finish.
