Almond Chickpea Cookie Dough

April 9, 2018 by Helena 2 Comments

Who doesn’t love eating cookie dough straight out of the bowl? I mean, that is the best part! This vegan, no-bake, healthy Almond Chickpea Cookie Dough recipe is a great alternative for those cookie dough cravings.

Almond Chickpea Cookie Dough served in a cup.

I have seen so many chickpea cookie dough recipes out there so I decided to give it a try. The kids were a little skeptical and to tell the truth, so was I. But it tastes great!

Now, this will not taste exactly the same as notmal cookie dough, it is not as sweet or buttery. So remember you’re making this so you can eat it all in one go if you want to. Satisfy your sweet tooth without all the calories!

We experimented with different combinations and this recipe was everyones favorit. The texture is a little grainer then a traditional cookie dough. If you want a smoother consistency you can peel the chickpeas before blending them.

Chickpea Cookie Dough

Ingredients

  • Chickpeas, drained and rinsed (peel them for a smoother texture)
  • Creamy almond butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract
  • Almond milk
  • Cocoa powder
  • Chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor and blend until smooth. If you want a smoother texture you can peel the chickpeas first.

Add dough to a bowl and stir in the chocolate. Chill in the fridge for about an hour. 

Storage

Store this Chickpea Almond Cookie Dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Substitutions and Variations

Almond butter – Can be substituted with another kind of nut butter, like peanut butter or allergy friendly sunflower seed butter.

Maple syrup – can be replaced with another liquid sweetener like agave or for non vegans, honey can be used.

Mix-ins – Add some chopped nuts like almonds, for a little extra crunch and flavour.

FAQ

Is chickpea cookie dough healthy?

Yes it is, this recipe is full of protein from the chickpeas and lover in sugar and fat then regular cookie dough.

    Det här måste jag testa nu när jag försöker äta veganskt så ofta som möjligt! Funkar vanlig sirap också? Jag har inte lyckats hitta lönnsirap.

      Det går bra att byta ut lönnsirap mot tex honung om du inte är vegan eller ta agave sirap. Berätta gärna vad du tyckte sen!
