Chickpea Cookie Dough (Vegan, Grain & Gluten Free)
Chickpeas have to be the MOST versatile ingredient there is.. they suit both sweet and savoury recipes perfectly. The texture is amazing for cookie dough - so I just had to share this recipe with you! It literally takes under 5 minutes to make and is totally vegan, gluten free and grain free. Chickpeas are high in protein, fibre, manganese and folate - making this cookie dough actually pretty healthy! It's great for a snack, dessert, or even for breakfast.
Ingredients
- 400 grams Cooked Chickpeas (1 tin - drained and rinsed)
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp Nut Butter such as peanut, cashew, almond
- 2 tbsp rolled oats ground to a flour in a blender to make 'oat flour'
- 3 tbsp Maple Syrup (or to taste)
- 50 grams Vegan Chocolate Chips
- 1-2 tbsp non dairy milk
Instructions
- If you haven't already, make the oat flour by adding the oats to a blender and pulse until a flour forms.
- Place the chickpeas, maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla extract, oat flour, salt and milk in a food processor and pulse for a couple of minutes until smooth.
- Mix in the chocolate chips and either eat immediately or store in the fridge to cool down before eating (sometimes the blending can cause it to be lukewarm). Enjoy!
