Healthy Cookie Dough Dip

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
• 1/8 tsp plus 1/16 tsp salt
• just over 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup nut butter of choice
• up to 1/4 cup milk of choice, only if needed
• 1 1/4 cup dates or other sweetener (see notes)
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 2-3 tbsp oats or flaxmeal

INSTRUCTIONS

1. If using dates as sweetener, rehydrate covered with 1/2 cup water for at least 8 hours.
2. Add all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) to a good food processor, and process until very smooth.
3. Then mix in the chocolate chips. (Some commenters have had success with a blender, but I did not.)
4. If made correctly and blended long enough, this should have the exact texture of real cookie dough!
