Raise your hand if you LOVE cookie dough! This eggless, no bake Protein Chickpea Cookie Dough is gonna be your new love. But first, I have to tell you guys something serious. A few weeks ago I woke up and my right toe was so swollen I couldn’t bend it.

My boyfriend has gout so we were immediately able to rule that out. It’s now been 3 weeks and it’s still swollen and painful. Because I’m well, beyond frustrated with doctors and their lack of helping people I’ve been refusing to go to the doctor. I’m also dreading the possibility of another diagnosis or NOT getting one which always seems to be the case with me. I’ll keep you posted!

Okay, time to scoop up some delicious chocolaty goodness! Chickpea muffins, chickpea blondies (<- one of my most popular recipes) and now Protein Chickpea Cookie Dough! Is there anything you can’t do with chickpeas? Basically, I haven’t found anything this amazing plant based food can’t do.

This cookie dough isn’t as sweet as normal. If you’ve done my 14 Day Sugar Reset Challenge then you know I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. But that’s nothing a few extra handfuls of chocolate chips can’t help!

Reasons I love this cookie dough? It’s higher in protein and fiber and lower in sugar than flour based cookie dough. It’s eggless which means it lasts forever in the refrigerator. I haven’t tried making actual cookies out of this recipe, but I plan to try that soon.

Grab your spoons and eat up!

Ingredients

• 15 ounces chickpeas 1 can, water drained
• 1/4 cup peanut butter creamy, I use Target brand
• 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder I used Vega Clean which is Vegan friendly
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips dairy free

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth. 

2. Note, depending on the type of protein powder you use it may alter the flavor or texture. For the same results as mine, I recommend you use the protein powder I used. It's also lower in carbs. 

3. Transfer the ingredients to bowl, stir in the chocolate chips and transfer to a mason jar. Store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
