I don’t know why or how or where my love of chickpeas first got started, but I am obsessed with this bean. I used to buy the most massive cans of them from Costco in Maryland, but sadly they do not sell them here
Luckily, I don’t have to relegate my chickpea eating time to meals or savory snacks because I’ve got a sweet chickpea recipe today.
Sweet PB Chickpeas
All you need are five six ingredients –
1/4 cup peanut flour
1 Tb. Maple syrup
1 Tb. Olive Oil
Dash of salt and cinnamon (I use a lot!)
A can of chickpeas (or garbanzo beans)
Mix the first five ingredients together. Then, pour the mixture on a can of rinsed chickpeas and toss to coat. Try not to let them all squish together when you first put them in or they’ll stick a bit.
Roast at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until charred to your liking, tossing periodically.
The beans are packed with fiber and protein, but I love that the peanut powder adds an extra punch of protein too!
If you’re looking for a savory chickpea recipe – my Peanut Sauce Roasted Chickpeas are very similar!

I have been using raw, canned, reduced sodium chickpeas as a snack and have lost 40 lbs. Thanks for another way to eat this wonderful bean.

Isn’t the big can of chickpeas the best and it’s less than $3. Peanut flour is pretty great too. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Looks delicious!!

Any recommendations for a substitute for peanut flour in this recipe?

Oh, hey now! Looks tasty. I need to just go out and get some peanut flour already. I think I’m the only one that doesn’t have a bag yet. 🙁
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
I WILL make this!! Chickpeas and peanut flour are two of my favorite things. That huge can of chickpeas is awesome!

I think I’m going to try that- I’ve been looking for other sources of protein, since I don’t really like eating meat, more then once a day, and I need protein pretty much every time I eat, so this’ll be good ^_^
Oh, and random (but this recipe made me think of it for some reason)- remember those Nutella to-go things you said Ben ordered a while back? (I just remembered today) a month or so ago, I was running, and on the sidewalk was an empty Nutella to-go, and I thought of Ben! Hehe! XP

Second recipe I’ve seen tonight using peanut flour and I conveniently have an entire open bag that’s only bee used once.
I totally need to track down Costco chickpeas. This could be dangerous.

I’ve been meaning to try baked chickpeas for a while. Those sound YUM.
