\"Egg-free<\/p>\n

I’m gonna be 100% transparent with ya’ll, as always. This recipe was originally going to be a truffle, similar to my Chocolate Butterscotch Cookie Dough Truffles. But… then I kept eating the “truffle dough” and decided MAN this is SO GOOD, it’s like healthy, egg-free, edible cookie dough!<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, checkout this egg-free Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.<\/h2>\n

The base for this recipe? Again, 100% transparency, is black beans<\/strong>. As always, chocolate covers it right up and you would have no idea<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

BONUS: this recipe is TOTALLY flexible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feelin’ chocolate and peanut butter? Use some peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips. You could use anything: white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, caramel chips, nuts… You get the picture!<\/p>\n

Grab spoonfuls of it or use a cookie scoop<\/a> for cookie balls to make it more portable<\/strong><\/em>; this Double Chocolate Cookie Dough has become my go-to snack in the afternoons. Along with my green smoothie of course. Who said a green smoothie and double chocolate chip cookie dough don’t go together??? NO ONE!! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Ready to make this Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough?<\/h3>\n

Rinse your black beans and pat them dry.<\/strong> <\/em>Then grab your food processor (or a high powdered blender should work), add your black beans and coconut oil, and blend until your black beans are nice and creamy<\/em> (as few chunky chunks here as possible!). This took me a couple minutes. Then, add in your cocoa powder, honey, coconut flour, vanilla and salt. Blend for a minute, take your lid off and scrape everything down, and then blend for another minute to make sure everything is well incorporated. A<\/em>t this point, I like to put the dough into a small bowl and stir in the chocolate chips by hand. I used dark chocolate chunks this time and they were SPOT ON.<\/p>\n

That is IT. See how easy this is my friends!?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I like to store this cookie dough in my fridge afterwards for a bit to help it harden back up some, after all the time in the warm food processor. About 30 minutes in the fridge should do the trick.<\/p>\n

The texture of this bad boy is really similar to your typical cookie dough,<\/strong> but the BIGGEST difference is that you don’t get that crunchy sugar-y bite out of it. Instead, this is completely smooth. If you are really<\/em><\/strong> missing that sugar crunch, I’m betting you could use sugar (or coconut sugar) instead of honey in this recipe; it should still turn out great and give you more of that crunch.<\/p>\n

\"Egg-free<\/p>\n

So let’s talk about health benefits. Cause Cookie Dough is synonymous with health benefits, right?? \ud83d\ude09<\/h4>\n

Black beans are full of fiber,<\/strong> <\/em>making the base (and majority) of this dessert or snack a really healthy option. Instead of eating a cookie dough that’s filled with flour and sugar that does nothing for you, the fiber in this dough will help move things along rather<\/em> than plug you up. Now, that’s what I’m talkin’ bout. A dessert with benefits!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Other benefits? This Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is grain-free, refined sugar-free, and gluten-free.<\/strong><\/em> Filled with other healthy ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa powder, coconut flour, honey, vanilla, salt… and of course, chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

You might have noticed too, that this treat is NO BAKE.<\/strong> <\/em><\/h4>\n

Continuing on the popular theme of quick, easy summer treats that don’t require heating your oven up and making your house even more of a scorcher.<\/p>\n
