Raw Vegan Cookie Dough

Raw Vegan Cookie Dough Recipe

By VegetaFull

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

(1) 15 oz. can (425 grams, or 1½ cups) of cooked garbanzo beans, drained and well rinsed

¼ cup of maple syrup

¼ cup of creamy peanut butter

2 teaspoons of vanilla

¼ teaspoon of baking soda (for that cookie dough flavor)

¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt

1/3 cup (28 grams) of quick cooking rolled oats

3 tablespoons of cacao nibs

Instructions

1First, if using canned garbanzo beans, drain and rinse thoroughly to avoid a beany taste. If using home cooked beans, simply measure out 1½ cups and add them to a food processor. I like to use a food processor such as a Cuisinart, instead of a high-powered blender, to retain a little texture which gives a more authentic mouth feel to the dough.

2Next add in the sweetener: ¼ cup of maple syrup, the flavorings: vanilla, ¼ teaspoon each of baking soda and salt, and the ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter. The baking soda is simply for flavor but really makes the cookie dough taste just like when you eat it off the spoon before putting it in the oven. Blend all these ingredients until smooth with a bit of texture.

3The quick cooking oats come next. Quick cooking oats create just the right consistency. Blend the 1/3 cup of oats into the bean mixture until it looks like cookie dough.

4Lastly add your 3 tablespoons of cacao nibs for an amazing chocolate boost and extra crunch. Just pulse these a few times until they’re blended in nicely.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
