2tbspMaple SyrupOptional: Taste and either add more dates, goji berries or sweetener of choice
Goji Berries and Chocolate Chips for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
If you're not using date paste - first put dates and 1/4 cup of goji berries in water to soak while you get everything else ready.
Add garbanzo beans in food processor and pulse a few times to break them up.
Then add the dates and goji berries (not the water but save it) and the rest of the ingredients (except the toppings) and blend
If it's not creamy enough add a few tablespoon of the water the Goji's were soaking in and blend again. I had to add in a couple of tablespoons to my batch. You want the consistency to be similar to cookie dough. Also make sure to taste it. If you'd like it sweeter add in some maple syrup, more dates or goji berries. Because the cacao is bitter you might need more sweetener than usual. Just taste it.
Place batter in a bowl and mix in toppings.
Scoop out small spoonfuls and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Bake for about 20 min. Let them cool and then store in the freezer. You can keep them in the fridge, but something about putting them in the freezer makes them taste even better!
I serve mine after I've put them in the freezer for at least 30 min. It enhances the flavor. Enjoy!
