Chickpea Cookie Dough – A Great Everyday Dessert to Enjoy
If you are someone that loves a good sweet indulgence on a regular basis, then this Chickpea Cookie Dough is exactly what you need! This cookie dough is healthy, oil-free, added sugar free, vegan, and gluten-free… so it’s great for everyone to enjoy!
No Added Sugar!
This chickpea cookie dough is refined sugar free and makes for the perfect night time dessert before bed. I always reach for this when I just want a little something sweet! All you have to do is throw everything into a blender and you got yourself your own healthy cookie dough!
Very Versatile
I love to add just a bit more liquid and turn this cookie dough into a cookie dough DIP! It’s best to dip graham crackers, animal crackers, and my all time favorite, Biscoff Biscuits.
TIPS AND TRICKS
- You may need to scrape down the sides in the beginning to help get the chickpeas blended thoroughly
- You can adjust the consistency by adding more liquid and if you want you can turn it into a fun dip
THE MORE YOU KNOW
Maple Syrup
There are a variety of different sweeteners that you can use instead of maple syrup such as agave, stevia, brown rice syrup, or honey. You will need to add more liquid if you use brown rice syrup or honey.
Flaxseed Meal
Flaxseed Meal is just blended or ground flaxseeds, so if you buy flaxseeds then you will just need to blend them. Otherwise, you can buy flaxseed meal in any grocery store. Typically it is located in the health food section or in the baking aisle.
Vegan Chocolate Chips
There are countless vegan chocolate chip selections now, but my favorite brands are Enjoy Life or Lily’s.
