Chickpea Cookie Dough
Description
The Chickpea Cookie Dough recipe transforms canned chickpeas into a dough-like base with the help of vanilla protein powder and almond butter. The coconut sugar and vanilla add sweetness and aroma, moderated by a pinch of sea salt. The combination produces a creamy, slightly firm dough that holds together well, dispersed with vegan chocolate chips for added texture and sweetness. Processing until smooth and then incorporating the chips ensures even distribution and a pleasant bite.
The recipe serves as an edible dough for snacking without requiring baking. Its dense, chewy texture and sweet, nutty, and vanilla flavors make it suitable for a quick treat or a high-protein snack. It can be stored chilled for a few days to maintain freshness.
Using canned chickpeas eliminates prep time and the recipe's simplicity invites substitutions such as white beans or oat flour for protein powder, though these may alter sweetness or texture. Coconut sugar can be swapped for cane or brown sugar depending on availability.
Ingredients
- 1 oz chickpeas canned, rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup protein powder vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter
- 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Notes
- Substitute chickpeas with white beans or use oat flour if you want a chickpea-free version.
- If vanilla protein powder is unavailable, oat flour can be used but may require adjusting the sugar to maintain sweetness.
- Coconut sugar may be replaced with cane or brown sugar according to preference.
- Store leftover dough in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
