Oatmeal Chickpea Cookiepie Recipe

I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a cohost for Instagram's Oatasticweekend and this little cookie was my addition for that weekend. There were a lot of chickpea cookie recipes floating around and I wanted a cookie that was more protein packed and I also wanted to use oat flour in it. It worked out in a way because I only had about a half a cup of chickpeas left. I didn't add extra sweetener to the cookies but the filling has sweetener in it. I ate these babies after my workout and I stored them in the fridge.
