These edible cookie dough bites are cute, delicious, and protein-packed!
Can we all agree the best part of making cookies is eating the dough on the sides of the bowl before cleaning up? I used to steal a spoonfu; of cookie dough when I was a kid and my mom wasn’t looking. I honestly always liked the dough better. Even when we’d bake the cookies, I’d make her take out a couple for me when they were only halfway baked, that way the inside would still be so so gooey (and honestly undercooked lol ) but I loved it!
This is the adult version of that nostalgic cookie dough bite. These cookie dough bites aren’t made with raw eggs, dairy, or even gluten! The main ingredient is one that might shock you a little, but I swear it’s the perfect way to get creamy, delicious edible vegan cookie dough. I use a whole can of chickpeas! It gives this dessert so much protein, I don’t even feel bad having it as a pre-workout snack.
Here’s what you’ll need to make Vegan Edible Cookie Dough:
chickpeas
oats
peanut butter
maple syrup
sugar
salt
vanilla
The first time I made these, I scooped out all the cookie dough into a jar and I ate it like you would ice cream. This time I made it, I rolled them up into bite size pieces. It was easier for you to grab a couple when you’re running out the door, and it’s also way easier to track!
You can add in any of your favorite cookie flavors. My all- time favorite are rainbow sprinkle sugar cookies, so I added sprinkles! You can add chocolate chips, nuts, cinnamon + raison, peanut butter chips, anything you want!
I also love making yogurt bowls or overnight oats and crumbling up a couple of these Edible Vegan Cookie Dough bites to add on top. They’re the perfect parfait topping.
