Healthy Cookie Dough Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
1/8 tsp plus 1/16 tsp salt
tiny bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup nut butter of choice (You can get away with using only 3 tbsp.
up to 1/4 cup milk of choice, only if needed
Sweetener of choice
1/3 cup chocolate chips
2 to 3 tbsp oats (Ground flax will also work)

Preparation

Add all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) to a good food processor (not blender), and blend until very smooth. Then mix in the chocolate chips. (Some commenters have had success with a blender, but I did not. Try that at your own risk, and know the results will be better in a high-quality food processor such as a Cuisinart.) If made correctly and blended long enough, this should have the exact texture of real cookie dough!

Sweetener Notes: I used 2/3 cup brown sugar when I first made this for the party. Liquid sweeteners (agave, maple, etc.) are fine as well, as is evaporated cane juice. You can easily get away with less sugar- some people will be perfectly fine with just 3 tbsp for the whole recipe! And if you don't want any sugar, be sure to check out the \"no-sugar\" version linked above. (You can also use stevia, if you like the taste of stevia-sweetened desserts. Try 2-3 packets of NuNaturals stevia, and add more sweetener if needed. I wouldn't recommend serving an all-stevia version to party guests, though.)
