🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- 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 date paste.
- 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.

🔪 Instructions
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.
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.
🥡 Storage
This recipe will last up to 5 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
