Flourless Cookie Dough

Well!

I can very much so follow through on my promises hey! Wow! I feel horrible. What a super busy week and a bit I have been having. I got a call last week from a family member, asking if I could work part time at her office this summer. Just a couple days a week.

Ha! No one told me that GST was due at the end of the month. I went from being home all day everyday to working full time and getting up at 5:30 everyday to work out before hand. Well,I am exhausted!

My day:

5:15- Wake up
5:30-6:30- Gym/ Working out
7-8:30- Get ready
9-4 Work
5-6 Start to prepare supper

And then I eat , clean up and by the time I am done its about 7:30. I am exhausted!! Hopefully things will begin to calm down once Wednesday rolls around.. Until then, I may no promises to blog everyday!

As well, I am leaving this weekend! It is just for the weekend but it will be a nice get away. My dad and I are going to Golden, BC tomorrow for some hiking and whitewater rafting. Should be a nice enjoyable and relaxing weekend hopefully. A ton of exercise too, which I look forward to.

So until my life gets back on track, I will post a super healthy and easy summer recipe for you all to try. I am a type of girl who can sit down and eat a whole containter of peanut butter cookie dough to myself-Whoops! But I always feel majorly guilty.

But I don't have to with this recipe! It is gluten, dairy, eggs and corn free. As well, the combination of chickpeas and peanut butter make it super high in protein and an ideal post workout snack I highly recommend.

This is derived from Chocolate Covered Katie , a blogger who I follow extremely closely too and love so many of her recipes, so you all must check out her website

Anyways. Onto the recipe. Original Source: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/05/23/want-to-eat-an-entire-bowl-of-cookie-dough/

How I style it up:

1 can of chickpeas
1/8 TSP baking soda
2 TSP vanilla extract
1/4 Cup peanut butter
1/2 Cup brown sugar
2 TBSP. rolled oats (Certified GF)
1/3 Cup chocolate chips (Enjoy Life Dairy Free)

Just blend all ingredients, but the chocolate chips, together in a food processor until smooth.
Add in the chocolate chips after and enjoy :)

*Myself personally, I don't have a food processor (yet) so in my first attempt, I used a hand blender/masher
In my second though, I ground up the chickpeas in this nut crusher, then added in all the ingredients to that and just blended as much as I could. It worked out amazing
