Healthy yet incredibly decadent, these clean Vegan Cookie Dough Bars are made with chickpeas, oats and chocolate.
Ingredients
Vegan Cookie Dough
- 1 can chickpeas (250 grams) drained and rinsed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cup rolled or quick oats
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup chopped semi sweet chocolate pieces or chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- handful vegan sprinkles optional
Instructions
Vegan Cookie Dough
- Add all cookie dough ingredients except chocolate chips to a food processor (or blend with a hand blender) until very smooth.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the cookie dough into a parchment paper lined 9 X 13 inch pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
Chocolate Coating
- Add a couple inches of water to a pot and place a heat resistant bowl on top so it is resting on the edges of the pot, but not touching the water. Heat water on low. Put coconut oil and chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in the bowl, stir often until fully melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the pan of chilled cookie dough and spread it evenly. Chill the bars once more for 3-4 hours.
- Remove chilled bars from the refrigerator and slice into 8 long bars. Sprinkle with vegan sprinkles (if desired).
