    Who doesn't love cookie dough? This edible Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough Without Brown Sugar is not only safe to eat, but it has chickpeas and peanut butter so you don't have a sugar spike.

    Eat it by the spoonful or as a dip with apple slices, graham crackers, or pretzels. It has a thick creamy texture just like classic cookie dough.

    Made with oat flour it is safe to eat, unlike cookie dough with raw flour.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Chickpeas (garbanzo beans): Adds a creamy texture and protein.
    • Oat flour: I used homemade oat flour by grinding rolled oats in my Nutribullet with the milling blade. You could also use almond flour. Both are safe to eat raw.
    • Peanut butter: Shelf stable or natural peanut butter will both work.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or my homemade date paste recipe.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness.
    • Dark chocolate baking chunks: I like dark chocolate for the flavor. You could also use semi-sweet chocolate chips.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    📖 Variations / Additions

    • Almond butter, cashew butter, another nut butter, or sunflower seed butter
    • Roasted and salted peanuts, dried cranberries or raisins, and pumpkin seeds to make a trail mix cookie dough
    • Almond flour or another flour - make sure to check first if the flour you use needs to be heat treated.
    • Rainbow sprinkles like my Funfetti Edible Cookie Dough

    🔪 Instructions

    Chickpea Cookie Dough before and after mixing.

    Step 1: In a food processor, mix drained and rinsed chickpeas (garbanzo beans), peanut butter, maple syrup, oat flour, vanilla extract, and salt.

    If you don't have oat flour, you can make it by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or Nutribullet with the milling blade.

    Step 2: Fold in dark chocolate baking chunks or chocolate chips.

    Can I Bake It?

    For this vegan cookie dough recipe I used my Vegan Chickpea Blondies with Oat Flour recipe as inspiration. I omitted baking powder and added slightly more maple syrup. I also used dark chocolate baking chunks instead of chocolate chips.

    If you want bars or cookies, you could use that recipe. I haven't made the blondies into cookies, but if I were to try it, I would bake them for 8-12 minutes.

      I first tried this recipe with chickpeas and the taste ended up being too strong but then I made it again with cannellini beans and it was much better! I also pulsed in some vegan peanut butter cups instead of chocolate chips and it was fantastic! Thanks so much!4 stars

        Hi Alli, I'm glad you found a solution that worked for you! White beans are milder so that was good thinking!
