I love making things that the kids absolutely LOVE and that are good for them! I discovered a recipe for chickpea cookie dough dip from Chocolate Covered Katie. The recipe is super simple (go to her site for quantities if you are an exact person, or if you are like me and “wing it” then keep reading).

Let’s make cookie dough dip with beans!
  • 2 cans of chickpeas
  • Coconut oil
  • Coconut butter
  • Salt
  • Vanilla
  • Brown sugar
  • Quick oats
  • 2 tablespoons condensed milk
  • Chocolate chips
  • Ground flaxseed

Step 1

We used two cans of chickpeas, took out as much of the skin as the kids were willing to pick out.

Step 2

Then dump the chickpeas into the food processor along with some coconut oil – enough to make them all wet and then another splash.

Step 3

The original recipe calls for peanut butter, but we have peanut allergies over here – so we used coconut. We blended the beans till it was smooth and added some salt, vanilla, brown sugar, and handfuls of quick oats till it tasted right.

The kids had a great time taste testing.

We used more vanilla and salt than recommended.

Step 4

We added a dollop of condensed milk (probably 2 rounded tablespoons) to help our dip be “smooth” and creamy.

Step 5

Then the kids added chocolate chips (and I threw in a handful of ground flaxseeds).

This fiber-full brain-fat-rich dip was a HUGE hit with the kids. The whole bowl is gone in mere minutes with them begging for seconds!
