But since this is made with chickpeas and simply sweetened with dates, it’s got minimal real food ingredients and packs a punch with the added protein. Bonus: you’ll get a nice dose of fiber in there, too. I mean, do you need any more reason to dive in?!
Easy substitutes for this Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough
- Make it nut-free by using Sun Butter
- Keep it sugar-free with these sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- Don’t want to use dates? Start with 1/4 cup of maple syrup. Process and taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
- If you prefer to use a blender, use a high-speed blender instead of a food processor.
How to enjoy this vegan chickpea cookie dough:
Get out a spoon and dive in. Seriously! I mean, it shouldn’t be that complicated.
Buuuut if you want to change things up, roll these into balls and top a smoothie bowl with them. Mix them into some homemade ice cream or “nice cream” (ice cream made with bananas). Or add them to a banana split.
