When my siblings and I were growing up, we loved to make cookies, but our favorite part was sneaking bits of cookie dough before they made their way into the oven. Any other cookie dough lovers out there?!

But let’s be honest, it’s not the best snacking option if you’re trying to eat healthy. And, being pregnant is a big no-no when raw eggs are in the batter. (Still deciding if I miss cookie dough or wine more… haha!)

My sister-in-law, a certified dietitian and sweet, sweet friend of mine, made a cookie dough hummus a couple years ago and brought it to a family function. I was hesitant, because I wasn’t a big fan of hummus and because who wants garbanzo beans in a sweet dip?!

Well, after one bite, I was blown away. It was delicious!! I found myself going back for more again and again – probably because I was in disbelief that I actually liked it!

I’ve made this numerous times since then. I love that it’s so easy to make, healthy and 100% safe to consume while preggo! #CookieDoughCravings

What ingredients do I need to make a cookie dough hummus?

• Garbanzo Beans – Garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas), are used as the base of the hummus. I always use reduced sodium beans, but if you don’t have any, just be sure to rinse off the regular garbanzo beans really well to remove any added sodium.
• Honey – This helps sweeten the hummus. If you don’t like honey, you could also use light agave nectar for the same consistency.
• Oatmeal – Oatmeal brings the flavor of a monster cookie to life and brings some fiber to the dip! (If you follow a gluten-free diet, just be sure to get gluten free oats.)
• Peanut Butter – Peanut butter will add to the creaminess of the hummus, give great flavor and add a decent amount of protein to the mix!
• Vanilla – Just like in a cookie dough, the vanilla will give the dip a boost of flavor!
• Mini Chocolate Chips and M&M Baking Bits – It wouldn’t be a “monster” cookie dough dip without the chocolate and M&M’s! Although if you don’t have any M&M’s, you can use additional mini chocolate chips.
• Apples, Pretzels, Graham Crackers, Etc. – There are many different options you can use for dipping. If you follow a gluten-free diet, you can use Nut Thins, gluten-free crackers, etc!
