Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Always on the search for healthy sweets, I was looking for a healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. I found a good base recipe then modified to make them healthy. This is the result, and though the ingredients seem strange, my husband who is extremely picky wolfed them down!

2 Cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup organic canned chickpeas, drained and ground fine in food processor
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 cups Sucanat or turbindo sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 cups rolled oats
1/ 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375
In mixing bowl combine oil and sugar, mix well.
add all other ingredients except chocolate chips, and mix with hand mixer until well blended. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto well greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10-15 mins.

Makes approx. 40 cookies

P.S. If anyone makes these and likes to photograph food, I would love to have a picture of them! I've tried photographing food and I suck at it lol
