A Healthy, Raw, Cookie Dough

Who hasn't licked the beaters after making cookie dough despite being told not to eat raw eggs? It's delicious! After all, an ice cream has been made in cookie dough's honor!

I recently came across this recipe over at Chocolate-Covered Katie and had to give it a try. Who would guess that the main ingredient is chickpeas!?!

• 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained)
• pinch of salt
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)
• 1/4 cup milk (or any non-dairy milk)
  2/3 cup brown sugar
• 3 Tbls oats
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Add all ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. This is meant to be eaten raw as I doubt it would bake well.

Verdict: I'm in LOVE!!! It definitely helps with the night time munchies and it's a great way to trick help Peter to eat something healthy! Hubby thinks it's "Okay, but not great" but I'm just going to ignore that.

Additional Note: Even more amazing after leaving it in the fridge overnight!! (I may or may not have had a bite with breakfast.)
