Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Ready for a new dessert recipe?
🎉🙌This recipe sounds weird but it is so delicious – you would never guess that it is made from chickpeas!
🍪😋 This cookie dough is safe to eat raw because it doesn’t contain eggs.
🥣🥄 You can eat this straight from the bowl with a spoon, or make cookie dough balls from it, and store in the fridge.
👩🍳🥜One of the things that’s awesome about this recipe (besides the fact it’s healthier and delicious) is that you can experiment with it to make it your own.
Try swapping out the nut butter, adding some oats or flaxseed (start with ⅛ cup (12 g) and add more until you get the desired consistency) and using honey or coconut sugar instead of maple syrup. It’s so good!
