Hi chocolate cinnamon sticks!
Well, except cinnamon sticks aren’t yummy, because you can’t eat them. I’m striking out here; first with yesterday’s fruit loop fiasco, and now this. Let me make it up to you.
How? Why I’m so glad you asked!
I invented this dip while making Snickerdoodle Blondies.
Snickerdoodle Dip
(high-protein and gluten-free!)
Inspried by the extremely-popular Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip.
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can) (250g after draining)
- 3 tbsp nut butter of choice (or other fat source) (see link below for fat-free option)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- heaping 1/8 tsp salt
- sweetener (see note below, for amount)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup ground flax or quick oats (20g) (you can omit)
- 2 and 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- optional ingredients: a pinch cream of tartar, raisins
Drain and rinse your beans very well. Blend all ingredients in a food processor (not a blender) until very, very smooth. Now this next step is very important: Dip every single thing you can grab into the batter. Stuff it all into your mouth.

**People with “normal” tastebuds will probably like 3/4c brown sugar. You can also use stevia if you like the taste of stevia-sweetened desserts, or liquid sweeteners are fine, as is white sugar or evaporated cane juice. Tastes differ, so just sweeten until it suits you! Dip apple slices or crackers, spread on a banana or toast, or…
Try it as a frosting for the following recipe: Breakfast Pizza Cake.
Do you taste as you’re cooking?
Or do you wait for the final product before taking a taste? I like to take a few tastes as I go. That way, if a recipe isn’t turning out well, I still have a chance to fix it. And you can bet whenever I cook with chocolate chips… well, let’s just say not all the chips end up in the actual recipe.
Hi! I’ve made this recipe several times and it is delicious! Approximately how many calories are in one serving?
Sorry, I don’t have that info.
I love to eat Cinnamon Sticks! (They are HOT; but I absolutely love hot peppers.) What do you mean by ” Well, except cinnamon sticks aren’t yummy, because you can’t eat them.” LOL
Also, my friend grinds them into cinnamon herself.
Katie, your site has the best healthy dessert recipes ever!!!! I will definitely be using your recipes.
Aww thank you!
And LOL about the cinnamon sticks! Now I want to try grinding them, too :).
Hi! I would so love to make this dip, as well as the choc chip one, but I’m a little confused. You say to use “Nut butter or some other fat source” as my boyfriend is allergic to nuts, I’ll definitely be using another source, but I’m not sure what to use (I’m not very good at cooking/baking). The Choc chip recipe said oil, but is that olive oil, vegetable oil… help! Please?
Veg oil or coconut oil! Or coconut butter :).
If using coconut oil, reduce or omit other liquid.
Thank you so, so much! It’s so nice to know that you answer questions even on older posts.
Have a wonderful Easter!
Aw you too, Bethany!
I do try to answer them all… every now and then one will slip by. But I’m so grateful people read!
This dip is to blame for my weight loss plateau. It’s so good that I just can’t stop eating it! 🙂
Hey Katie
I’m kind of obsessed with your blog and share it every chance I get ( like with my spin teacher and random people at subway or the grocery store)
I just made this single lady style and it was beyond fantastic!! Yum!!

What changes did you make to make this recipe single lady style? I would live to try thus but it would be to much for just one person. Please let me know how you made it! : )
I have a party on Saturday morning but the only time I have to make the dip is Wednesday night…do you think that is too long for it to sit?
Hmmm… I would think so, but you never know!
I am in love with this recipe! I always love making it! However, is it very calorie dense? I tend to suffer from bloating and calorie-dense foods make it worse! I would really appreciate this. Thanks and good luck to your future recipes!
Hi Kristen,
Unfortunately I don’t know the calories for this recipe. But I have calorie counts for a similar recipe: https://lett-trim.today/2011/11/01/pumpkin-cookie-dough-dip/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> Hope that helps!!
Thanks so much! Again, good luck on your future recipes!
Katie,
I just wanted to thank you for this recipe it was the first of your recipes I have tried. I made it as a protein dish when i got my wisdom teeth removed. It was a life saver. I modified the recipe slightly using 2 T coconut oil + 1 T peanut butter, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 cup almond milk. This is definitely not the last recipe I will be making.
I went on a CCK baking spree tonight! Single lady pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake AND this dip for my toast in the morning! It is delish!!
My parents and fiancé are continually wowed by your vegan recipes.
I am a vegetarian..but I try to cook vegan when I can….desserts are perfect!
