Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe (High Protein!)

By: Complement

Sometimes choosing the healthier option comes at a cost in the taste department.

Chickpea cookie dough is not one of those times. It's drool-worthy and made from a chickpea base, just as good as traditional cookie dough.

How? No idea. It makes no sense. But it works and comes with all the health benefits of legumes, plus a huge protein boost from Chocolate Protein.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of unsalted chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup creamy nut butter of choice
• 4 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp of salt
• 1 tsp Gut Nurture (Optional)
• ⅓ cup Chocolate Protein powder
• ¼ cup coconut flour or oat flour
• 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry.
2. Blend chickpeas, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a food processor until smooth.
3. Add protein powder, salt, protein powder, and flour. Blend until the mixture resembles cookie dough.
4. Add chocolate chips and fold them in evenly with a spatula.
5. Enjoy immediately with a spoon!

Notes:

• Make sure your nut butter is one ingredient - the nuts!
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
