Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls
A few simple, healthy ingredients make delicious little cookie dough bites!
Ingredients
- 10 large, soft medjool dates
- 1.5 cup chickpeas (1 can, rinsed and drained)
- 1/3 cup peanut butter (or powdered peanut butter for low-fat)
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- If your dates are hard, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain. In a food processor, pulse the dates until they are fine and clump into a ball.
- Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until well-combined. You can add the chocolate chips before or after this, depending on if you like them chopped up or whole.
- Roll into balls,. Makes 20-30, depending on the size. Enjoy! Keep in the fridge.
Notes
You can add nuts, hemp seeds, coconut, dried cherries or other fruit, if desired.
Frozen balls are yummy, too! Mix frozen pieces into nice cream for a cookie dough ice cream/milk shake!
