    These edible cookie dough bars are so easy to make that they'll soon become your favorite dessert. The edible cookie dough is delicious alone, but add your favorite fudge frosting and it puts it over the top. I used my fudge frosting but you can use any frosting recipe.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    High in protein. These bars are high in protein thanks to white beans and chia seeds in the mix.

    One bowl recipe. Just throw all ingredients into one bowl or one blender jar and process. Chill and enjoy.

    Ingredients

    White beans. Use canned, organic. Any white bean works.

    Cashew butter. Any nut butter works.

    Vanilla extract. For flavor.

    Maple syrup. For sweetener.

    Cinnamon. For spice.

    Chia seeds. For structure and nutrition.

    Salt.

    Chocolate chips. To fold in.

     

    Steps to Make

    Step 1: Prepare by lining a loaf pan with parchment paper. Rinse and drain the beans.

    Step 2: Blend all ingredients except chocolate chips.

    Step 3: Fold in chips and press into a pan, evening with clean hands or the bottom of a glass.

    Step 4: Refrigerate while you make a frosting. Use my chocolate fudge frosting or for a thinner layer, melt ½ cup chocolate chips in the microwave at 30 second bursts and pour that on the bars.

    Step 5: Spread the frosting on the cookie dough bars and refrigerate until the frosting sets. Slice and serve.

    Storage

    Store for a week refrigerated. Freeze for three months.

    Variations

    Mint cookie dough bars. Use mint flavored chocolate chips, and add a teaspoon of mint extract to the frosting.

    Cookies & Cream cookie dough bars. Fold in crushed oreo cookies as well as chocolate chips.

    Rocky road cookie dough bars. Fold in mini marshmallows, walnuts as well as chocolate chips.

    Ingredients
      

    Cookie Dough

    • 1 (15oz/425gms) can white beans
    • ½ cup cashew butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
    • pinch salt
    • ½ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    Make the cookie dough

    • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper
    • Rinse the white beans, and pop them in the blender. There are no shells to rub off first like with chickpeas - white beans all have soft shells that can be left on.
    • Place all ingredients except chocolate chips into your blender and blend until creamy.
      1 (15oz/425gms) can white beans, ½ cup cashew butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, pinch salt
    • Put that blended mixture in a bowl and stir in your chocolate chips with a spoon.
      ½ cup chocolate chips
    • Spread the mixture in the pan and refrigerate while you make a frosting.*

    Assemble

    • Spread the frosting on the cookie dough and refrigerate until the frosting sets. We never really let it get hard; if you want a more frozen texture, freeze it!
    • Slice and serve.
    • Store for a week refrigerated

    Notes

    Frosting. Use my chocolate fudge frosting or for a thinner layer, melt ½ cup chocolate chips in the microwave at 30 second bursts and pour that on the bars.
    Mint cookie dough bars. Use mint flavored chocolate chips, and add a teaspoon of mint extract to the frosting.
    Cookies & Cream cookie dough bars. Fold in crushed oreo cookies as well as chocolate chips.
    Rocky road cookie dough bars. Fold in mini marshmallows, walnuts as well as chocolate chips.
