Protein "Cookie Dough"

Looks like cookie dough, taste like cookie dough, BUT it's not cookie dough! No one has to know that though, I guarantee you will fool anyone with this recipe.

The best part is it's filled with protein and healthy fats to power you through a workout or just get you through your afternoon slump. 




Protein "Cookie Dough"

Ingredients:
1 cup of chickpeas - cooked
2 Tbsp of vanilla protein powder (I used Perfect Fit)
2 Tbsp of coconut oil
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
1 Tbsp of pure maple syrup
1/4 cup of tahini
scant 1/4 tsp of salt
2 Tbsp of chia seeds
1-2 Tbsp of water (I added this to loosen the dough to get it to blend better)
Handful of crushed walnuts
2 Tbsp of cacao nibs (or chocolate chips)

Directions:
Place all ingredients (except walnuts and cacao nibs) into a high speed blender/food processor and pulse until well combined and a dough forms. Remove dough from the blender/processor and fold in your walnuts & cacao nibs (feel free to add any other "cookie" ingredients you would like).

Refrigerate the cookie dough for 15-20 minutes to let it harden then eat straight from the bowl or roll into balls to take on the go!
