Sweet, creamy chocolate chip cookie dough flavored spread ideal for snacks and desserts.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 1/4 cup smooth almond butter (or peanut butter)
03 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
04 - 2 tablespoons oat milk (or other plant-based milk)
05 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

09 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place chickpeas, almond butter, maple syrup, oat milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a food processor.
02 - Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the bowl sides as needed.
03 - Taste and, if preferred, blend in coconut flour for thickness and ground cinnamon for added flavor.
04 - Transfer the hummus to a bowl and fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand.
05 - Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to achieve a firmer consistency. Enjoy with fruit, pretzels, or graham crackers.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like actual cookie dough but leaves you feeling energized instead of sluggish.
  • You can make it in under ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have.
  • Its versatile enough to serve at a party or hoard in the fridge for midnight snacking.
02 -
  • Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly or the dip will taste slightly metallic and throw off the whole dessert illusion.
  • Dont skip scraping down the sides of the processor. Unblended chunks of chickpea hiding at the bottom ruin the silky texture.
  • If you add the chocolate chips before blending, they'll turn into brown specks instead of staying intact.
03 -
  • Use a high-speed blender if your food processor struggles. It makes the texture insanely smooth.
  • Taste before you add the chocolate chips so you can adjust sweetness or salt without fishing them out later.
  • Make a double batch. Seriously, it disappears faster than you think.
