Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅙ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Process chickpeas: Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to a large food processor and pulse until they begin to smooth out. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to ensure even blending.
- Combine other ingredients: Add vanilla protein powder, almond or cashew butter, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the food processor with the chickpeas. Process until the mixture forms a cohesive ball of dough.
- Add chocolate chips: Use a rubber spatula to gently separate the dough inside the processor bowl. Add the vegan chocolate chips and pulse 2-3 times just enough to evenly disperse the chips throughout the dough without breaking them up.
- Enjoy: Remove the cookie dough from the food processor and serve immediately for a fresh, protein-packed snack.
- Store leftovers: Place any leftover dough in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for 3-4 days.
Notes
- Use almond or cashew butter according to taste preference or allergies.
- If you prefer sweeter dough, increase coconut sugar slightly.
- Make sure to use vegan chocolate chips to keep the recipe fully vegan.
- Protein powder type can be plant-based or whey depending on dietary restrictions.
- Chickpeas provide a great source of fiber and protein making this a nutritious snack.
