Easy Kid Friendly Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip

I can’t get my 9 year old to eat my healthy snacks at all. I was so pleasantly surprised when I made this Easy Kid Friendly Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip and she couldn’t wait to dig in! She had no idea it was laden with protein-rich chickpeas. AND a bonus is that she is always asking to eat cookie dough and I never allow her to because of the eggs – there are NO eggs in this recipe!

Even if you are a chickpea skeptic, you have to try this chickpea cookie dough recipe. When I made my delicious chickpea oatmeal cookies, my sister-in-law thought I was nuts. But having a grain-free and protein-rich snack made me so excited and I love being able to create and share other chickpea recipes!

This chickpea cookie dough dip is so yummy with graham crackers or animal crackers! My kids are always complaining about always having the same snacks. This is one way to give them something new while only spending mere minutes preparing it!

It definitely gets the kids excited to eat it and makes mama happy knowing they are having a healthy snack.

Here are some health benefits of chickpeas

Chickpeas are so healthy and super good for the following:

  • Helps Control Blood Sugar Levels
  • Increases Satiety and Helps with Weight Loss
  • Improves Digestion Thanks to a High Fiber Content
  • Helps Protect Against Heart Disease and Cancer

As little as 3/4 cup of garbanzos per day can help lower our LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in a one-month period of time.

    Oh yum! I love chickpeas (actually made tomato garlic hummus today) but I never made a sweet “hummus” like that before! Great idea 🙂

    Can I bake these into cookies like right now? Or maybe the dough will disappear before it makes it into the oven. Looks oh so yummy!

    I have to admit I’m not a chickpea fan but maybe in a cookie dough I might change my mind. Amazing the ingredients one can use to make a “healthier” cookie. Thanks for coming to the party and sharing with Fiesta Friday.

    This looks really delicious and healthy! Can’t wait to try it, especially when I saw that chickpea can help control blood sugar levels. I have gestational diabetes so I’m cutting down on rice, sweet stuff, and bread. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
