01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two baking sheets so the cookies don’t stick. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla until everything is nice and smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, then add this dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir until it all comes together into a dough. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, oats, and nuts so they’re evenly spread throughout.

Step 2
Pop the dough into the fridge for at least 15 minutes to firm up a bit—it makes shaping easier. When you’re ready, scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place them on your baking sheets, leaving some space between each one. Bake in the oven for about 10 to 13 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the cookies look set. Let them rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
