So this is another strange sounding recipe but you'll have to take my word on it. It's strangely delicious AND healthy! I saw a recipe for dessert hummus balls and it got me thinking. After a few test runs, I think I've come up with a pretty good recipe for yummy cookie dough that won't make you feel guilty. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Ingredients
1 can of garbonzo beans
1 1/2 tablespoons of oat bran (you could substitute with any type of flour)
1/4 cup of peanut butter (you can substitute with any type of nut butter)
2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons of agave nectar sweetener
about 20 drops of vanilla stevia (this is optional, you can always use more agave sweetener if you don't think it's sweet enough without it)
about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
First, rinse, drain, and peel the garbonzo beans. They have a think layer of skin on the outside so while peeling takes a little while it will make the dough smoother.
Throw the garbonzo beans and oat bran in a food processor. A blender or a magic bullet could probably work as well. Blend the two until the chickpeas seem to be well mashed.
Next, add the peanut butter, agave nectar and stevia. Blend until a smooth cookie dough consistency. Take the dough out of the processor and put it into a small or medium sized bowl. Mix in the chocolate chips and voila! Feel free to eat straight out of the bowl or you can roll the dough into balls and eat them that way.
