FAQ'S

Frequently asked questions about healthy pumpkin chickpea cookie dough.

Yes! You can just replace the ¼ cup cashew butter with either more dates or more pumpkin puree.

SHOULD I USE CANNED OR STEAMED CHICKPEAS?

Steamed chickpeas are better because you can cook them into a much softer texture than canned chickpeas.

There is no need to remove the skins of the chickpeas!
