INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained) (~123g)
0.33 cup Rolled Oats (~30g)
0.5 cup Egg Whites (~120g)
1 scoop Vanilla Pea Protein Powder (~30g)
1 tablespoon Almond Butter (~16g)
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Rinse the drained chickpeas and pat them dry with a paper towel. For extra crispiness, you can gently press them to remove additional moisture.
In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, rolled oats, egg whites, almond butter, and pea protein powder until you achieve a slightly chunky, well-combined mixture. Avoid over-processing; you want some texture in your bites.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about the size of a walnut) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly press each ball to flatten slightly for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once midway to ensure even crispiness. The bites should be golden and firm.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying as a standalone snack or as part of a meal.
