The second I heard the words ‘healthy edible cookie dough’ I was like SIGN ME UP! The quarantine baking has gotten the best of me so I love finding healthier versions of treats I love. This cookie dough made from garbanzo beans is to eat by the spoonful (not to bake) and is absolutely to-die-for!
Inspo
@Nicole_thenomad originally posted this video about making healthy edible cookie dough and I knew I had to try it! I made it using her recipe a few times and couldn’t put down the spoon – the whole bowl would be gone that night.
When I calculated the calories, though, I realized that if I’m not going to have any self-control I really need to make it a bit healthier. So I played around with the recipe and created a version that cuts down the calories quite a bit while still making it absolutely delicious! The biggest changes are PB Fit instead of peanut butter, stevia instead of the full serving of maple syrup and adding cinnamon.
Overall, I can’t believe garbanzo beans can actually turn into cookie dough! This has become a staple dessert in our household and I love that it’s essentially guilt-free!
Healthy Edible Cookie Dough Recipe & Directions
Ingredients
- 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
- 2 Tbsp PB Fit
- 4 Tbsp Almond Flour (optional*)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp stevia drops
- 1 tsp cinnamon

- Chocolate chips to taste
Directions
- Open the can of garbanzo beans and drain 1/2 of the liquid
- Pour your garbanzo beans into a blender or food processor
- Add PB Fit, almond flour, vanilla, stevia drops, cinnamon & maple syrup. (*note: I sometimes take out the almond flour to make it even healthier)
- Blend on low in blender or food processor (I use our Ninja on the low setting)

- Enjoy!
