๐งพ 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.
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.

- Almond butter, cashew butter, another nut butter, or sunflower seed butter

- 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.

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!

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