Substitutions
- Sugar Swap: Instead of regular sugar, try using brown sugar for a richer taste.
- Flour Alternatives: You can use almond flour, oat flour, or gluten-free flour if you can't have gluten.
- Dairy-Free Options: Use coconut oil instead of peanut butter for a hint of coconut flavor that goes great with chocolate chips.
Variations
- Microwave Method: If you want a quick way, heat the garbanzo beans in the microwave for a bit before blending them in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Flavor Enhancements: Try different nut butters like almond butter to make your cookie dough taste even better. Serve with non-dairy milk or vegan ice cream for a completely dairy-free dessert.
- Shaping Options: Use a cookie scoop to make small cookie dough balls, or use a rubber spatula to mix in the chocolate chips and shape the dough into bites. Chill them in the fridge for a firmer texture.
Storage
If you happen to have any leftovers (though it's unlikely!), you can store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Alternatively, you can put the cookie dough in the fridge for future use. Simply portion it into individual servings, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, and store them in the freezer for up to three months.
Top Tip
- Eat this in two ways, by baking it or eat it after blending it!
- Make it a day before and chill or freeze the dough. Simply thaw it before serving or before baking.
