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

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.

Roasted and salted peanuts, dried cranberries or raisins, and pumpkin seeds to make a trail mix cookie dough

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.
