You won't find any hidden chickpea flavor in this recipe because it's full of nut butter and chocolatey goodness. Devour it as a dip, roll into dough bites, or simply help yourself to spoonfuls all day long.
DYK: There's 12g of protein in one cup of chickpeas!
Bonus: Reishi is considered an adaptogenic herb, meaning it will help support your body + mind when you're feeling stressed, anxious or in need of a dose of calm.
Reishi Vegan Cookie Dough Bites
Prep time:
Makes: 1 bowl of Reishi Vegan Cookie Dough Dip or 12 Dough Bites.
What you need:
- 1 can Chickpeas (drained, rinsed and skins peeled off)
- 1/3 cup nut butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp oat flour
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 2 tsp Blume Reishi Hot Cacao Blend
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1/2 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips (or as many as your heart desires!)
What to do:
- Peel the skin off the chickpeas. Simply rub them between two sheets of paper towel to remove.
- Add chickpeas to a food processor (or blender) and blend for 30-40 seconds until smooth, scraping down sides in between.
- Add the nut butter, maple syrup, salt and vanilla extract and blend to combine.
- Scrape down the sides and add oat and almond flour, Reishi Hot Cacao blend and almond milk, and blend to combine.
- Check the consistency. You're going for cookie dough, so add more almond milk by a tablespoon at a time until you're there.
- Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
- Get colorful by sprinkling your favorite Blume blend onto the individual balls! We like a dash of Turmeric, but you could try Beetroot, Matcha Coconut or more of the Reishi Hot Cacao for a delicious superfood addition.
- To make Dough Bites, roll 1 tbsp of the dough into a bite size ball or simply eat as a dip with your favorite cracker or fruit.
Warning, this vegan raw cookie dough needs no vessel and is delicious simply by the spoonful!
This dough will keep in the fridge for 5-6 days.
