You are going to love me for this one. Christmas is just around the corner and parties and family gatherings are plentiful. You know as well as I do that Christmas parties wouldn't be complete without a spread of delicious foods. Well,  here is a great alternative to some of the less healthier options. It will satisfy your sweet tooth but not set you back as far as some of the others. Granted, it does have chocolate chips.. but make them dark and enjoy in moderation. Okay?! 

Happy Snacking!

Healthy Cookie Dough Recipe

• 1.5 cups canned garbanzo (chickpeas) or white beans drained and rinsed
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Almond nut butter (or your favorite nut butter)
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate)
• 3 tbsp Quick Oats

1. Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a food processor and blend until very smooth. It will be very similar in consistency to chocolate chip cookie dough.
2. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Chill in refrigerator at least 2-3 hours before eating.

The chilling in the fridge part is crucial, so trust me on that one. Serve with graham crackers or even apple slices. Yummo!
