Chickpea Cookie Dough



This Chickpea Cookie Dough is made from wholesome ingredients, but will still satisfy your sweet tooth! Plus it’s Vegan, Grain-Free, and Refined Sugar-Free.

Chickpea Cookie Dough. Yep, you heard me! Who knew that pureéing Chickpeas with 5 other healthy ingredients would result in a thick, cookie dough-esque batter that tastes like dessert, but is also loaded with fiber and plant protein?! 

Now I’ll admit — the first time I heard of this concept, I thought it was crazy. I thought, “How on Earth would Chickpeas taste like Cookies?  Isn’t this, like, pureed dessert Hummus?” 

And while the latter is still kind of true…I’m okay with it. Because somehow the combination of Nut Butter, Vanilla Extract, Oat Flour, Maple Syrup, and Chocolate Chips totally masks the flavor of Chickpeas. And I’m not going to complain about that, that’s for sure!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 ½ cups cooked Chickpeas*
  • ¼ cup Nut or Seed Butter*
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 tbsp Oat Flour or ¼ cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup*, plus more to taste
  • ¼ cup Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips (or other add-ins of choice)
  • ½ tsp Salt
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add all ingredients, except for the Chocolate Chips, to a high-speed Blender or Food Processor. Process until a thick, even dough forms, scraping the sides of your device as necessary. Keep in mind that the dough will thicken even more after the flour absorbs some of the liquid and after it sits in the fridge.
