Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients

  • 15 oz chickpeas drained and rinse, or 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup unsweetened nut butter
  • ⅓-½ cup sweetener brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup oats quick oats or old-fashioned
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tbsp milk optional
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Place the chickpeas, nut butter, sweetener, salt, baking powder, and oats and vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Run the food processor for about 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds or to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. This ensures that all of the ingredients are incorporated well. The cookie dough is ready when it’s smooth and the oats are completely or almost completely invisible.
  • Optional Step: If you want to make it a cookie dough dip, add the milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the correct consistency.
  • The cookie dough may be warm from being blended. If so, refrigerate it to cool.
  • When the chickpea cookie dough has cooled completely, stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate the chickpea cookie dough until you are ready to eat or serve it.

Notes

  • Makes about 2 cups of cookie dough.
  • Because this recipe is eggless, it is safe and meant to be eaten "raw". If you would liked to bake them, this recipe makes about 14 cookies. Pop them in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes.
  • For a vegan recipe and if you are opting to turn this into a dip, make sure to use vegan milk such as rice, soy, hemp or oat milk.
