A healthy, scrumptious, treat you can feel good about!

We’ve been seeing versions of something like this make its rounds around social media. So we decided to take a crack at making chickpea cookie dough too.

But we wanted to do it NOYOKE style. Meaning vegan, easy, and using just our Vitamix.

Turned out pretty awesome (if we do say so ourselves).

This is a no-prep, no-bake, no-guilt treat. Go make some, you’ll want to eat the whole batch!

Try this cookie dough -- it's delicious!

Lenny’s Mom made him a version of this recipe last time we were home in MN. He loved it.

His sisters, on the other hand, did not.

Speaking as someone that also enjoys baked goods occasionally, I can understand why.

It’s got no butter, no flour, and barely any sweetener. It’s main ingredient is also chickpeas.

And that just sounds gross. Chocolate chip hummus? No thanks!

But if you’ve got the mindset of a healthy eater (like Lenny does and I try to), it’s actually quite delicious.

No, it doesn’t taste exactly like cookie dough, but it sure is close.

Know what it doesn’t taste like at all? Chickpeas!

We’ve come up with some creative uses for it, but you can also just enjoy with a spoon.

Useful tips for Chickpea Cookie Dough

If you don’t have almond butter you can make some or use cashew/peanut butter instead.

The darker color is due to us roasting our own almonds to make almond butter. If you’re feeding this to children or picky eaters, you may want to use cashew butter. The more it looks like cookie dough, the more it tastes like it!

Serving suggestions:

• Dipped with fruit
• Spread on graham crackers
• Chunked and mixed into banana ice cream
• Scooped into PB cup-like creations
• Rolled into balls and frozen
• As the middles of “cake” pops
• On a spoon!
