Description

This raw, vegan chickpea cookie dough offers a healthy twist on the classic treat—protein-rich, naturally sweetened, and perfectly safe to snack on by the spoonful.


Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural almond butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 12 tbsp plant-based milk (optional, for softer texture)


Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly.
  2. Pat dry and add to a food processor.
  3. Blend chickpeas until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  4. Add almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt; process until well combined.
  5. Check texture—if too thick, add plant-based milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
  6. Fold in mini dairy-free chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for firmer dough.

Notes

  • Use almond or peanut butter (ensure natural, no sugar added).
  • Substitute maple syrup with agave or dates blend.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze in portions for longer storage—thaw before eating.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt on top for extra flavor.
