Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup nut butter (cashew, peanut, or almond)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 can (540ml) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Dry Ingredients
- 1 + 1/4 cup oat flour
- 2 scoops protein powder (about 1/4 cup), unflavored or vanilla
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup dried, unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, maple syrup, nut butter, salt, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, oat flour, and protein powder. Blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides or stir the mixture to ensure even blending.
- Mix in Add-ins: Transfer the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl, then fold in the chocolate chips and dried unsweetened coconut flakes, or any other add-ins of your choice, until evenly distributed.
- Form Cookie Dough Bites: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough mixture and roll into bite-sized balls. These dough bites can be enjoyed immediately or chilled for a firmer texture.
Notes
- You can customize your add-ins with nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for variety.
- Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a firmer bite, refrigerate the dough balls for 30 minutes before serving.
- Use gluten-free oat flour to keep this recipe gluten-free.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and free from refined sugars since it uses maple syrup as a sweetener.
