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.
Haha. I always taste the batter right after I put something in the oven. I gotta know what I’m in for!!
I never taste as I go actually! Kind of weird now that I think about it…LOL!
Everytime I read your blog I always want whatever dessert you made!!!! Yummmmmmm!!
Holy moly this looks amazing. I ALWAYS taste test. Gotta do quality control 😉
I know I’m only going to echo everyone else but YUMMM and I seriously need a dessert fix each time I see your blog. 🙂 Thanks for not only the dip but also for giving a shout out to the Pizzerts…I’ve been reading up on all the different variations and ideas. I’m going to see if I can do the cookie dough one some justice. I’m not kidding when I tell people I’ve hardly EVER baked before. I made a cake from a box for my mom once and I did a ‘just add water’ muffin pouch a second time. But I really do want to get better…so cross your fingers. 🙂 You’ve given me plenty reasons to!
Your recipes never fail to amaze me. You’re so creative! Snickerdoodles are too good. I could use this dip, some snickerdoodle pancakes, or some snickerdoodle fudge babies right now.
I always taste as I go! To check and make sure it tastes right but also because I can’t help myself.
i always taste! how else are you supposed to take it up an extra notch 😉 also, quality purposes of course!
This dip looks fabulous! Really similar to a snickerdoodle dessert hummus that I like to make – just chickpeas, almond butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon. DELICIOUS.
I love making vegan goods in particular because it means I can taste test along the way! 🙂
What are you?! Recipe goddess of the century. I’m into this dip and will be making it ASAP!
Chocolate goddess, maybe? Yeah, I like that title… because I’m thinking someone called “goddess of chocolate” would get to sit on a throne and eat chocolate all day. And that sounds like something I could get used to :).
