🧾 Ingredients

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.

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.

📖 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.

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.
