Monster Cookie Dough Hummus

This Monster Cookie Dough Hummus has all the flavors of a monster cookie – peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate and M&M candies! Use pretzels and apple slices as dippers for a healthy, filling treat!!

If you love cookie dough almost more than a baked cookie, it’s nice to meet you! We think a lot alike! My cookie dough truffles and cookie dough ice cream dessert are a couple sweet treats I simply cannot resist! But when I want a sweet treat that’s a little more on the healthy side, this hummus always comes in clutch!

My sister-in-law, a certified dietitian and good friend of mine, made a cookie dough hummus a couple years ago and brought it to a family function. I was hesitant, but after one bite, I was blown away!! I changed it up a bit to taste like one of my favorite cookies (monster cookies!) and I think you’re gonna LOVE it!

Cookie Dough Hummus Ingredients

• Garbanzo Beans – Garbanzo beans (also known as chick peas), are used as the base of the hummus. You could also use a can of butter beans or cannellini beans.
• Honey – This helps sweeten the hummus. If you don’t like honey, you could also use light agave nectar for the same consistency.
• Oats – Oats brings the flavor of a monster cookie to life and brings some fiber to the dip! You can use quick oats or old-fashioned oats. (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! If using natural peanut butter that has separated, be sure to give it a stir before measuring.
• Vanilla Extract – 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! You can use regular sized chips or M&M’s but I love that the minis distribute more consistently throughout the dip, making sure you get one in each bite!
• 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!

How To Make Cookie Dough Hummus

Start by piecing together the food processor you plan to use. Drain the garbanzo beans and rinse thoroughly.

Add the beans to the food processor along with the honey, oats, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Put the lid on and blend until smooth. Be sure to scrape the edges of the bowl a couple times to make sure everything gets mixed in.

Remove the blade and stir in the chocolate chips. When ready to serve, add the M&M’s! Try serving with pretzels, apples, graham crackers, etc!

Is cookie dough hummus healthy?

I suppose it depends on your definition of “healthy.” I like that it fills me up and satisfies my sweet tooth, while also giving me some good nutrients, especially fiber and protein. Check out the nutrition in the recipe card below!

How should I store cookie dough hummus?

Store the cookie dough hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Note that the M&M’s coating will bleed into the hummus, so I recommend waiting until serving to add the M&M’s!
