A sweet treat that contains fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fat!

These chickpea cookie dough bites are stacked with nutrient-dense ingredients, and super easy to make.

They’re also completely safe to consume raw since there are no raw eggs.

Prep Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Yield: 15 bites

What You’ll Need:

• 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well

• 1/3 cup salted nut butter (I use SunButter)

• 1/4 cup organic (i say organic here because oats are highly sprayed with glyphosate) oat flour or for more texture use steel cut oats

• 1.5 tsp vanilla paste(or vanilla extract)

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey

• 1/2 tsp kosher sea salt

• 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips(plus extra for topping)

What You’ll Do:

• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside.

• Add chickpeas through salt to a food processor and run until completely smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally.

• Transfer to a small mixing bowl and stir in chocolate chips(reserving some for topping)

• Use a spring-loaded cookie scoop to portion into 1.5 Tbsp size balls and drop on the sheet pan. Roll each between your hands. It will be a little sticky, but you should be able to handle it. Push a few reserved chocolate chips on top of each.

• Freeze for at least 30 minutes (until solid), then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or food storage container.
