Ingredients

Instructions

  • Watch the video in the post for easy visual instructions. I recommend using a kitchen scale for this recipe.
  • Process the rinsed and drained chickpeas, nut butter, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Scrape down the sides of the container and mix again.
  • Add all other ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and mix again.
  • Finally, add the chocolate chips and stir with a spoon.
  • Enjoy! I shaped the cookie dough into donuts but that's totally optional! Store leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

  • Chickpeas: You could also use white beans instead of chickpeas. It's important that you rinse the chickpeas really well.
  • Nut butter: Any nut/seed butter (e.g. almond butter, coconut butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter etc) is fine. To make the edible cookie dough creamier, simply add more nut butter, up to 1/2 cup.
  • Sweetener: You can use coconut sugar or regular (brown) sugar instead of Erythritol. To make powdered sugar, simply process it in a blender or in an electric coffee/spice grinder for some seconds.
  • Flour: You can use almond flour instead of coconut flour, but you will probably need to add a little more. Oat flour might work too.
  • Baked cookies: You can also bake the dough. I made cookies and they turned out fine. You can see a photo of them here. I shaped the dough into cookies and baked them for 12 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • The recipe makes about 400 grams of cookie dough. Nutrition facts are for 100 g (1/4 of the recipe) calculated with Erythritol.
