Creating Chickpea Cookie Dough Bites is simple! Follow these easy steps for a delightful snack:

1. Blend the Chickpeas: In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Process until smooth.
2. Adjust Consistency: Taste the mixture and if needed, add a touch more maple syrup for sweetness or almond butter for creaminess.
3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
4. Shape the Bites: Using your hands, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) from the mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Chill: Refrigerate the cookie dough bites for about 30 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
6. Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage.

With these straightforward steps, you can easily make a batch of delicious Chickpea Cookie Dough Bites!
