How you can turn chickpeas into cookie dough

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter is lower in calories and provides a different flavor profile.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Honey is a natural sweetener with a distinct taste.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: cacao nibs

Dark chocolate chips provide antioxidants and lower sugar content.

oats

🥗Healthier: ground flaxseed

💰Cheaper: quinoa flakes

Ground flaxseed adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Drain and dry off a can of no added salt chickpeas.

Soak 1/2 cup of raisins in warm water for about 15 minutes.

In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, soaked raisins (without the water), 3 teaspoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Start processing in chop mode, scraping down the sides as needed, then switch to puree mode until well blended but still with some texture.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in chocolate chips.

Serve immediately.
