This Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough is a quick and delicious no-bake treat made from wholesome ingredients like chickpeas, peanut butter, and maple syrup. It offers a creamy, indulgent texture without any eggs or dairy, making it perfect for a healthy snack or dessert option that’s safe to eat raw.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (cooked and drained)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave nectar)
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (mini chips work well)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chickpeas: Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly if using canned chickpeas to remove excess sodium and improve flavor.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure uniform texture.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Add the dairy-free chocolate chips to the blender and pulse several times to evenly distribute the chips throughout the cookie dough without crushing them completely.
  4. Transfer and Chill: Transfer the edible cookie dough to a bowl. You can eat it right away or place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to slightly firm up the dough for a better texture.
  5. Serve: Scoop the vegan edible cookie dough into bowls or enjoy it by the spoonful as a healthy, satisfying snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Store leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • This cookie dough is safe to eat raw since it contains no eggs or traditional flour.
