Chickpea Cookie Dough
Satisfy your sweet tooth with this healthier chickpea cookie dough, an indulgent treat that swaps refined sugars for wholesome, plant-based power. This creamy treat proves that you can enjoy the nostalgic flavour of raw cookie dough while fuelling your body.
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- 100g cashew butter
- 80ml maple syrup add more if desired
- 2-3 tsp vanilla extract or paste
- 45g oat flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 65g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Drain and rinse your chickpeas, then rub them between two paper towels to remove the skins. Most will fall off, but you may need to use your hands to remove the rest.
- Add all the ingredients apart from the chocolate chips to a food processor or a high speed blender. Blend until you have a smooth texture. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides to get a smoother texture.
- Transfer the mixture into a large bowl and fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Serve straight away or refrigerate for 30-60 minutes for a firmer texture.
Notes
I make my own oat flour by blending porridge oats into a fine flour in a high-speed blender. Make sure to use gluten-free oats if you want the recipe to be gluten-free.
You can use other nut butters like almond or peanut butter.
Other liquid sweeteners will also work like honey or agave.
I prefer using vanilla extract for a more intense vanilla taste.
You can use chopped dark chocolate if you can't get hold of dark chocolate chips. Really you can use any chocolate you like!
