Leftover Pumpkin? Make Pumpkin Mac And Cheese
Over the years, healthy cookie dough dip has definitely become one of my most popular recipe ideas.
There are now versions on the blog for chocolate, banana, cake batter, snickerdoodle, oatmeal, and even Sugar Free Cookie Dough Dip.
Many of you have requested a pumpkin version, so when I was invited to a Friendsgiving party this past weekend, I immediately knew what I wanted to make.
These secretly healthy cookie dough dips are the perfect party recipes, because they’re so easy to make (no oven required!) and use up pantry staple ingredients you can always keep on hand. The finished product also won’t melt or get completely smashed en route to your destination.
(Did I ever tell you about the time I had to take a three layer wedding cake in an Uber?)

Pumpkin Cookie Dough Dip
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas or white beans, or 1 1/2 cups cooked
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree or mashed sweet potato
- 1/3 cup rolled oats, or 1/4 cup flour of choice (spelt, almond, sorghum, etc.)
- 1/4 cup almond butter or coconut butter, or oil of choice
- 1/3 cup liquid or granulated sweetener of choice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or additional cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp baking soda, for flavor
- optional 1/2 cup chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a good food processor, blend all ingredients except chips until completely smooth. (A blender will work if you must—and if you stop every now and then to stir so it blends evenly—but texture and taste will be better in a food processor). If too thick, add a little milk of choice as needed. Stir in the chips, and serve with graham crackers, sliced bananas, gingersnaps, pancakes, or anything else you want to cover in cookie dough! Store leftovers covered and refrigerated 2-3 days. Readers have commented to say this freezes well.View Nutrition Facts

Loving the major amounts of pumpkin going on over here!!! 😀
My first thought… what would I serve this with. My second thought… oh just get me a spoon 🙂 This look so good!
I will never get tired of pumpkin! It is SO good! Maybe that’s why I’m still orange…..
Katie, I was wondering if I could use your special-diets-page idea (like having a tab/page for that, just like the other categories for my recipes). I wanted to ask your permission to do so.
CHOCOLATE IS THE BEST! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Aww of course! LOL you’re so sweet to even ask!! 🙂
Just made your polka dot banana bread as a thank-you for a friend for taking care of my cats while I was away. Except I forgot that my friend is actually out of town right now. Oops! Guess I have to eat the bread myself!
I made this into two small loaves. The flavor is really good. The chocolate chips give it a lot of sweetness. My favorite part is the texture. It is kinda light and spongy, not as dense as most banana breads that I am used to. I did use regular white flour (I’ve been trying to use up this bag…). I baked about 40 minutes in the two smaller loaf pans, and they came out perfectly.
Thanks for another great recipe!
Aww I’m so glad!
P.S. Your blog makes me hungry… I wish I were in Boston!
Made this last night for an all-hall event…YUM. I substituted 1/3 cup agave for the brown sugar. My favorite comment was “It’s like pumpkin pie and chocolate-chip cookies had a baby.”
Haha oh man, best comment ever!
Making this tomorrow with your graham cracker recipe posted today for a post-halloween costume party tomorrow!! Stoked, as I made your choc cookie dough dip and loved it. My only qualm- oats have gluten, do they not? So this isn’t gluten-free unless you specifically buy gluten-free oats?
I try to make my recipes as generic as possible. So even though I use things like almond milk and vegan chocolate chips in recipes, I’ll just say “nondairy milk” and “chocolate chips.” That way people can use what THEY want when they make the recipe. Same with oats: From what I understand, oats don’t really have gluten, but they’re usually processed on equipment that also makes food with gluten (i.e. flours and bread, etc.) so there can be cross-contamination. But someone who is following a GF diet can easily keep this recipe gluten-free by buying certified GF oats, which seem to be pretty widely-available :).
I hope it turns out well for you!! 🙂
I’ve never heard that about oats! Crazy! I’m not gluten free, but a friend at the party I’m going to is, and so I was going to try and modify them for him. Thank you! 🙂
Ooh I hope he likes them!! Haha I didn’t know that about oats either until my friend decided to go on a gluten-free diet a few months ago. She’s been helping me understand so much about the diet. I still have no idea how to bake with xantham gum, though!
I ended up just leaving out the oats and putting a little flaxmeal in to thicken it… oh my word… amazing! This is my favorite recipe I’ve tried so far. My husband, who seems to have a phobia for all things “healthy,” liked this recipe and probably didn’t suspect it was made of beans. Thank you again!
I just made this recipe and it is AMAZING! Anyone who has this on their “to make” list who has not yet gotten around to it….you need to STOP what you are doing (I don’t care if you are working, driving, playing with your kids, cleaning, etc.) and make this. ASAP. Enough said. Thanks for a great recipe Katie. As a Registered Dietitian, I always feel like it is my job to provide healthy options at parties, yet my family and friends usually don’t like the “food police” regulating what can and cannot be served at holiday gatherings. So now I have something healthy and delicious to bring! 🙂
LOL you are too funny! Who wouldn’t want to stop working or driving in order to eat cookie dough, right? Cookie dough > work. Always 😉
I finally made this tonight… delicious. I couldn’t keep my spoon out of it! Mine came out a little bean-y tasting so I added a packet of stevia. It turned out well and made it a little less bean-y.
Also, are you sure on the calorie count? I calculated it out and the whole recipe had around 1000 calories…
Yes, I’m sure. I did it by grams (adding them all up and then dividing by 15 to get the # of Ts)
this looks amazing! just like the rest of your recipes, i want to eat them all 😛 i love that they’re all so healthy but never skimp on the flavor. keep it up!!
I just made this, and I am hooked! I omitted the oil and it is still fabulous. Thank you Katie for your wonderful creations…
