Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)
  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, nut butter, maple syrup, protein powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even consistency.
  2. Adjust Consistency: Gradually add milk one tablespoon at a time to the blended mixture until it reaches the soft, dough-like texture typical of cookie dough.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Remove the mixture from the food processor and gently stir in the mini dark chocolate chips by hand to distribute them evenly without breaking.
  4. Chill and Serve: Spoon the cookie dough into a jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to improve texture and flavor. Serve chilled as a dip, snack, or straight from the spoon.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips and plant-based protein powder to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • For a fun twist, roll the cookie dough into bite-sized balls to create protein bites.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
