Recipe's preparation

  1. 1.  Preheat oven to 175 degrees C

    2.  Place Peanuts into mixing bowl and process 15 sec/speed 10.  

    3.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl and process 10 seconds/speed 8 or until smooth.  (Do not overmix as your peanut butter will become warm and melt the Choc Chips when you add them later!)

    4.  Add Chickpeas, Honey, Vanilla Extract, Baking Soda, Cream of Tartar and Salt.  

    5.  Process 10 sec/speed 8.

    6.  Scrape down sides of bowl and process for 10 sec/speed 8 or until very smooth.

    7.  Add Choc Chips to bowl and Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting"  5 sec or until just combined

    8.  With wet hands form dough into 2-3cm balls.  

    9.  Place on oven tray and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden

    Please note: the balls do not rise with baking. 

Tip

- These dough balls are free from gluten and grains dairy and refined sugars and are 100% delicious!  I find it very hard to stop myself from eating the entire batch!  Haha.  Would love to know if you find the same!

- They are lightly baked to melt the chocolate and bind together but keep the consistency of "uncooked cookie dough" where they derive their name.

- Using pre-made natural peanut butter works very well in this recipe as it keeps the mixture cool so the choc chips do not melt when in the bowl.  If you already have made natural peanut butter, skip step 2 & 3 and add the peanut butter in step 4.

- Baking soda and cream of tartar are acceptable ingredients within the general consensus of the paleo community.  A not-strickly-paleo alternative is to substitute these ingredients for 1 tsp of baking powder. 

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    These are fantastic! I made with cashews as I have a child allergic to peanuts and still great, devoured by all ages. Thanks for the recipe!

    These were devoured by all! Even my son was asking for more. Cut the honey in half and still sweet enough for us. Thank you for posting,

    Contrary to popular belief, legumes (peanuts chickpeas etc) were part of our ancestral diet so it doesn't need to be removed. If you restrict legumes on your preferred paleo regime, just don't cook it hon.

    Please remove "paleo" from this title. Peanuts and chickpeas are in no way paleo.
