Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Print Version)

A creamy, sweet dip featuring chocolate chips and smooth, wholesome chickpeas, perfect for snacks or desserts.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 1/2 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 1/4 cup creamy nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
03 - 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
05 - 1/8 teaspoon salt

→ Texture & Sweetness

06 - 1/4 cup quick oats (use gluten-free if needed)
07 - 2 tablespoons milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy), plus more if needed

→ Add-ins

08 - 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine chickpeas, nut butter, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and salt in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides periodically to ensure even texture.
02 - Add oats and milk to the processor. Blend again until the mixture achieves a creamy consistency resembling cookie dough. If the texture is too thick, incorporate additional milk one tablespoon at a time until desired smoothness is reached.
03 - Transfer the blended mixture to a serving bowl. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the hummus.
04 - Serve immediately with apple slices, pretzels, or graham crackers. For a firmer, cookie dough-like texture, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
