- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup pure maple syrup, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- â…› teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons peanuts
Instructions
- Blend the base mixture: Combine the drained chickpeas, peanut butter, pure maple syrup, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt in a powerful blender such as a Vitamix®. Blend the ingredients until smooth, using the tamper if needed to help the blending process. Then scoop the smooth mixture into a bowl.
- Add mix-ins: Gently stir the vegan chocolate chips and peanuts into the blended chickpea mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Form cookie dough balls: Using your hands or a spoon, roll the mixture into small balls to resemble cookie dough bites. Serve immediately or refrigerate to firm up.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
- If you prefer a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and replace peanuts with seeds.
- Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Flour helps to bind the mixture; alternatively, you can use oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- These cookie dough bites are safe to eat raw as they contain no eggs or raw flour that hasn’t been heat-treated.
