Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough made in a blender. A healthy eggless no bake cookie dough recipe to satisfy that sweet tooth! {gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free}

Sweets! Y’all. I feel like I’m still detoxing from all the Christmas Cookies I inhaled a couple weeks ago. Anyone else with me?

Sugar is seriously like a drug. Once you have a bit, you start craving it and you really do go through a “withdrawl” from it.

Today I’m replacing all those cookies with this healthy eggless Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough.

Now before you get all judgy about the chickpeas, honestly you can’t taste them. The cookie dough definitely isn’t as sweet as normal, but you’re not making this to be hit with a “sugar coma.” You’re making it to satisfy that sweet tooth without all the sugar and calories! Right?

I highly recommend draining the chickpeas and placing them in a paper towel. Then, using another paper towel, gently rub the top of the chickpeas so some of the outer skins come off. Pick out the skins and toss them. It might seem tedious but it makes a huge difference in the texture so you don’t have as many skins in the cookie dough, you don’t need to get all of them just enough to make a difference. This process makes the cookie dough smoother.

Ingredients

• 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2½ tablespoons maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds
• ⅓ cup 60% cacao chocolate chips or cocoa nibs

Instructions

1. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Place in a paper towel, dry off. If some of the skins start to come off peel them off and discard. (this will help the cookie dough not be as gritty)
2. Add chickpeas, peanut butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup and cinnamon to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add the ground chia seeds to the food processor. (to grind chia seeds add them to a coffee bean grinder or a mortar and pestle) Blend until everything is combined.
3. Add chickpea cookie dough mixture to a small bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Serve immediately.
5. *** Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. ***
