Make them!
- Blend the chickpeas, oats, condensed milk, nut butter, sweetener, oat milk, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla until thick and mostly smooth.
- Divide into 8 balls then flatten with your hand onto a greased and lined baking tray. Push the edges up a bit around the sides. Bake at 180C for 12-15 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil, nectar/sugar, apple and cinnamon in a pan and cook on a medium heat for 5-8 minutes until softened.
- Spoon some of the apple mixture into each cookie to fill. Mix the condensed milk, nut butter and cinnamon and drizzle over each cookie and sprinkle over flaked almonds. Enjoy!
