Seriously! The flavors from the rich pecans, fragrant cinnamon, and sweet molasses are strongest, meaning you get the benefits of the protein- and fiber-rich chickpeas with no bean taste. Ingredients 1 ½ cups uncooked old-fashioned regular rolled oats ½ cup pecan halves 1 (15 1/2-oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed ½ cup raisins ⅓ cup molasses ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon kosher salt Directions Pulse oats and pecans in a food processor until finely ground, about 15 pulses. Add chickpeas, raisins, molasses, cinnamon, and salt; process until smooth, 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl, and roll into 22 balls (about 1½ tablespoons each). Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 week. Rate it Print
