Description
This Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is made with a secret ingredient that actually makes it as healthy as it is addictive! One taste and you’ll see why this will be your new favorite treat.
Ingredients
1 can cooked chickpeas
1/4 cup peanut butter
3 (or more) Tbsp liquid sweetener like honey, maple syrup or agave
2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1–2 Tbsp milk of choice (only if needed to thin out the dough)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse canned chickpeas VERY well.
- Place all ingredients into a food processor and mix. This will take a couple minutes. Scrape down the sides and continue to process until the dough is SUPER smooth. As you are processing, taste and adjust for sweetness. 3 Tbsp is perfect for me, but everyone’s taste is different. If the dough is too thick, add milk of choice 1 TBSP AT A TIME!
- Once a silky-smooth dough is formed, pulse in the chocolate chips if using.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. The dough tastes great right away but gets EVEN BETTER as it sits and cools down.
Notes
For an SCD legal version, use white beans instead of chickpeas and honey. Omit the chocolate chips. White beans make a slightly thinner dough, but still tastes great!
Feel free to sub any nut butter of choice for the peanut butter. I’ve tried cashew and almond butters. Both are delicious but we and others seem to enjoy the peanut butter version the most!
