Is chickpea cookie dough healthy?

Yes! Chickpeas are rich in fiber and plant-based protein, making this dough more balanced and filling than traditional versions.

Can you eat cookie dough without baking?

Absolutely. This no-bake version uses no eggs or raw flour, so it's safe straight from the bowl.

Excess moisture from the chickpeas or not enough oat flour is usually the cause. Stir in extra oats until the texture firms up.

You can for baked cookies, but for no-bake recipes, whole chickpeas give better texture and a smoother flavor.

Soft, chewy, and secretly healthy, these chickpea no-bake cookie dough bites are vegan, high-protein, and freezer-friendly.
