Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
I don’t know about you, but I think I enjoy cookie dough more than the actual cookies. This cookie dough tastes just like fresh baked cookies especially if you microwave the mixture for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate chips. The next time you are craving chocolate chip cookies try this instead and you can enjoy the heavenly taste without the guilt.
Ingredients:
1 can reduced sodium chickpeas drained and rinsed
½ cup reduced fat peanut butter (or other nut butter)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons pure or light maple syrup
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
- Add everything except chocolate chips to a food processor. Pulse to mix.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Tip: Put a few scoops in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Mix gently to swirl melted chocolate chips.
- Enjoy! Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
