I adore searching Pinterest for healthy recipe inspiration, and this No-Bake Chickpea Peanut Butter Cookie Dough which I've adapted from FitSugar immediately grabbed my attention.
You all know how much I adore my PB, but I'm also a lot of a cookie dough addict. Seriously, whenever I bake cookies, I end up eating half the dough before the rest has even reached the oven.
However, this is a guilt-free version. Created using the wondrous chickpea (such a versatile food - have you ever tried Chickpea Blondies? Delicious!), this is a great source of protein and fibre and perfect for lifting your mood mid-afternoon.
This tastes delicious served with chopped apple slices (never tried apple, smothered in peanut butter? Do it!), or just enjoyed with a spoon. Dig in!
