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.
Hey, Katie!
I just discovered your blog, & I am very happy to find healthy subs for my sweet tooth! I wish more people were concerned about eating right! I’m also GLUTEN FREE since I discovered wheat was causing me a lot of problems, so thanks for some new recipes to try! I esp like ones like this that taste even richer than their inspirations!
After whipping up a version of this dip, I’m convinced it would make an awesome filling for a CANNOLI!
awesome recipe! i just graduated with a degree in dietetics but i have a huge sweet tooth. the fact that you have recipes for “healthy” desserts makes me very happy. i used this dip with apple slices and it was amazing. i’m extremely happy that i found not only a healthy cookie dough dip but that i can use it to get more fruits into my diet. plus, chick peas!?! i’ve never been a fan of them but i couldn’t even taste them in this. i can’t wait to try out your other recipes.
Love the recipie idea, but what is the point of the Baking Soda?
Hi Jim,
It’s just for flavor. I like cookies (or cookie dough) that have a little baking soda kick. You can leave it out if you wish, though.
Hi! I don’t have any white beans or chickpeas on hand, but I do have pinto beans. Can I use those or will it be gross? c:
Sorry, I’ve never tried it so I don’t know :-?.
I just tried it, it turned out great!! 😀 Thanks!
I just made this but I put a little bit of Fat-Free Milk (1/4 cup at most) in it to make it a little smoother and added a sprinkle of sweetened coconut (maybe 1/8 cup)…… then ate it with a spoon…. Holy Crap it’s good!
Everything looks GREAT!
This is my favorite of the cookie dips! (And I’m a chocolate girl, too!) I just made it in advance to have with the vegan cool whip for our Valentine’s Day dessert tomorrow, and I can’t keep my fingers out of it! To me, it tastes like a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which is my husband’s favorite, so I think this will go over quite well. My 8-month-old took the spoon that I was using to put it in a bowl out of my hand and has been sucking on it for about 10 minutes. I think he likes it too. 🙂
I just made this and it is AMAZING! I dipped some strawberries, raspberries, and goldfish in it. The dip is also very filling… I’m stuffed!
This is one of my favorite recipes! How many calories are in one serving?
I loved your site.I will appreciate if you could tell me these are low Glycemic index recipes?
Also upload any recipe of dark choclate without sugar.
I dont want substitutes too.Just cholclate but no sugar.
Sorry, I don’t know much about the glycemic index.
But I do have a recipe for healthy chocolate. It’s my “three-ingredient chocolate bars” recipe.
