Chickpea Chocolate Chip “Cookie Dough” Bites

Chickpea Chocolate Chip "Cookie Dough" Bites (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, no added sugar)These chickpea chocolate chip cookie dough bites are proof that clean eating can still be delicious…and make you fat (I dare you to not eat the entire batch of these in one day). 😉

I needed something to help wean me off my ridiculous Starbucks cake pop addiction (I’m on week three of cake pop sobriety; working the 12 steps; taking it one day at a time; feeling great), so I decided to experiment with vegan, gluten-free, bite-sized treats using no added sugar. It took a few rounds of tweaking—the first batch tasted like…chickpeas—but I think I finally nailed this one. I got the idea from this chickpea cookie dough dip recipe I kept seeing on Pinterest.

If you’re looking for more of a snack versus dessert, skip the outside chocolate coating. If you’re trying to satisfy a sweet tooth, go for the gold—dip your bites in melted chocolate, pop in the refrigerator to let the outer shell harden, and then say hello to your new favorite food.

I’ll be tan, bloated, in need of a green juice and a workout, but ready to respond to all the comments and emails you’ve left while I was gone. 🙂

P.S. Sorry I went completely overboard with pictures of these guys. I felt like a mom picking a favorite child—I just couldn’t decide!

  1. I love your first sentence, “proof that healthy eating can be delicious.” Yes!!

  2. So that’s why you have to soak cashews … good to know. These look delicious!

  3. Holy moly!! These look amazing!!! Great idea to add the chocolate coating, perfect for those extra extra sweet cravings 🙂

  4. I need to try these! I had an overwhelming amount of chickpeas today! I have a extreme sweet tooth for chocolate! Can I substitute almond flour for coconut flour?

    • That should work! Coconut flour is slightly sweeter, but I doubt you’d notice the difference given the relatively small amount. 🙂

  5. These look amazing, whenever I try to follow a clean recipe its always terrible *reminisces of banana pancakes that were basically omelettes with banana chunks*

  6. I’ve never tried vegan chocolate chips before but will have to look into trying them sometime. These cooking dough bites looks amazing!

  7. I made these last night (substituting almond flour and agave) and they are incredible. I will have to think twice about making the recipe again, though -I can’t stop eating them!

  8. My mouth is watering…
    When I make stuff like this I keep a couple and then have to “gift” the rest away to my neighbors and friends…aren’t I sweet? Not really, I am totally thinking of me-I WILL eat all of them if they stay in my house!

  9. Oh my goodness, these look DELICIOUS! I’ve been wanting a gluten free cookie dough recipe that I can put into nice cream… I may have to try this one out! Yum!
