Peanut Butter Chickpea Muffins


I made these in a toaster oven, so they got a bit toasty on top.

Looking for ways to get more beans in your diet? Try this yummy garbanzo bean muffin recipe I invented yesterday. It even passed the taste test of a junk-food loving curmudgeon friend of mine.





Ingredients


15 oz can of unsalted garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

2 flax eggs (2 T ground flax + 5 T H2O, stir and let sit a few minutes until thick)

4 oz. of deglet dates (about 1 cup)

3/4 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup of mix-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, etc.)

WellBean cofounder, Patty, is happy with her bean muffin.

Process


First, decimate the dates in a food processor. Then add the beans and flax eggs and process until blended. Add remaining ingredients (except mix-ins) and blend again. Finally, add mix-ins and pulse briefly.


Dollop into lined or silicone muffin molds and bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes.


Don't have time for muffin-makin'? Try some WellBean for 1/2 serving of beans, fruit, and nuts.

Hi this sounds yummy! Can I used medjool dates instead? If so, will the amount be the same?

I interchange the two kinds of dates all the time. The advantage here is that the recipe says 4 oz of dates, so if you have a scale, go with that. Otherwise, since Medjool dates are about twice the size of deglet dates, in this case I would cut them in half and measure out 1 cup.
