Runs for Cookies Recipes: Cookie Dough Hummus

August 17, 2011

Cookie Dough Hummus

I made this awesome recipe on Sunday, and again today. I'm SHOCKED at how good it is!! It's hummus that really does taste (and look) like cookie dough. I ate it with pretzels, which was awesome, and then for dessert today I had it with a chocolate Vitatop. Heavenly!

I made it as follows:
1 can of chick peas, drained AND peeled (takes a little time, but worth it!)
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
6 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Blend all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor until very smooth. Then fold in the chocolate chips. (Makes 8 servings. Per serving: 139 calories, 5 grams fat, 3 grams fiber, 20 grams carbs, 4 grams protein)

I made this and it was delicious! The chick peas took a long time, but like it says...definitely worth the effort!

tried this tonight and it's quite good :) I don't like maple syrup so I used dark molasses (UN-sulfured) and used some cashew butter I had on hand and though it's a bit thinner consistency than pictured it tastes great! It's Very rich, a little goes a long way. Now I just need some pretzels....lol

Thank you for the recipe Katie.

Sincerely,
Becca

Some of these recipes are my own creation, a few are from cookbooks or other sources (which I will cite), but MOST of them are recipes that I've tried and modified into a healthier version.

I've included the nutrition info on most of the recipes (which I calculate using Sparkpeople.com's Recipe Calculator). However, calculating the nutrition info takes a LOT of time that I'd rather spend doing something more interesting, so some of the recipes don't have the facts. You can always go to Sparkpeople and figure it out yourself, however :)
