A cookie dough SO GOOD that you can eat without worrying because it is egg free. You can also be guilt free because it is protein packed, gluten free, and refined sugar free too!
Sometimes I want a warm cookie. But sometimes I just want to enjoy the dough straight from the jar. I know I can’t be alone in this right? This dough gives you a great option! Not only is this cookie dough safer, it is also so much healthier than edible cookie doughs you will gind in the store. What it does NOT have: gluten, dairy, soy, refined sugar, or oil. What is DOES have: a great source of plant based protein as well as fiber, plus a ton of chocolate chips and a whole lot of great flavor. Now doesn’t that sounds like a win-win??
But for when you do feel like baking – be sure to check out my quinoa chocolate chip cookies or my NEW healthy “Heath Bar” Cookies too!
Vegan Protein
Yes this is vegan, and yes it is full of protein. A lot of people have the misconception that it is hard to get protein on a vegan diet. But that is not the case! There are many options out there, and this utilizes on of my favorites: chickpeas. One cup of chickpeas contains a whopping 14.5 grams of protein. And this is just the tip of the iceburg on the nutritional benefits you get from these guys. Click here to read more on the nutritional facts and benefits chickpeas provide.
And then I decided to add one of my favorite plant based proteins. It is from a company called Nuzest and if you haven’t heard of them you are going to want to. They have a bunch of fun flavors but for this one I kept it simple and used their vanilla. It added the perfect touch. Plus you can use code DWBH15 to get free shipping and 15% off your order with them!
Let’s Make Some Vegan Cookie Dough!
This recipe is super easy to make. It requires no baking and only a handful of ingredients. You definitely are going to want a food processor or high speed blender though to be able to get it smooth enough.
Plus it is easy to customize to your preferences! Don’t like cinnamon? Leave it out. Would you rather have dried fruits or nuts than chocolate chips? Then go for it! You don’t have to follow this exactly, just use it as a starting point and a great way to get you the perfect consistency, and then switch up the add ins to make it perfect for YOU! Just be sure to comment below letting me know how you adjust it so I can have some new fun ideas for when I make it next!
And that is really it! I hope you cozy up with a big batch on your couch and enjoy it as much as I do!
