Cookie Dough Bites

This is an updated version of my Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Bites. I think they are even better than the original. They are protein packed and addictive.  I am just giving you fair warning now.

Dough Ingredients:

• 1 can (1 1/2 c) chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed
• 6 dates soaked in hot water, drained
• 1/2 c gf oats
• 1/4 c peanut butter
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 c water (1 tbsp at a time)
• pinch of Himalayan salt

Combine dough ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high, adding water as needed to loosed the dough. (I used the water that I soaked the dates in.) You might need to scrape down the sides periodically.

Blend the dough until it is creamy and smooth. Transfer the dough to a large bowl.

Stir-In:

• 1/2 c chocolate chips, Vegan/GF, chopped

Add chocolate chips to dough mixture and stir to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients.

Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Roll the dough into walnut size bites and place on prepared baking sheet.

Freeze dough bites until they have firmed up. Store in a sealable container in the refrigerator.

Share. Eat. Enjoy.
