Buffalo Chickpeas

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1T olive oil
  • 1/4C and 1T buffalo sauce, separated

1) Toss the chickpeas in olive oil and either roast in the over at 425 for 15 minutes, or heat in a skillet for 15 minutes stirring constantly. We want them to get a little crispy.
2) Stir the chickpeas in a hot skillet with 2T of the buffalo sauce. Once it’s been absorbed, stir in the other two and heat for 5 more minutes.
3) Divide into two servings and drizzle remaining buffalo sauce over the chickpeas.

Enjoy!

Snickerdoodle Truffles

Makes 12 Truffles

  • 10 pitted dates
  • 1C almonds
  • 1T peanut butter
  • 1T agave or maple syrup
  • 1/4C sugar
  • 1T cinnamon

1) Heat the dates up in a warm skillet, shaking the pan constantly to make sure they don’t burn. We’re not cooking them, just getting them warm.
2) Moving the warmed dates into a bowl and mash with a fork (or your hands!)
3) Grind the almonds in a food processor or blender, and combine with the dates.
4) Add the agave and peanut butter, continuing mixing with your hands or fork.
5) Roll the mixture into 12 individual balls, and then roll the balls in the sugar/cinnamon mixture in a bowl or on a plate.
6) Let refrigerate for one hour so the truffles can firm up, and enjoy!

**if you’d like to keep this recipe raw, instead of heating the dates, blend in a food processor. It’s just a bit messier**
