A recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites has been doing the rounds on Facebook this week, it was originally shared by Marlenes Skinny Friends-Weight Loss Support Group. With a few substitutions it easily became Oscar suitable and as I had some carob buttons to use up, Failsafe as well. Although having said that, cashews and vanilla need to be limited on the Failsafe or Elimination diet, so it would be best not to eat them all at once – but they are very moorish!
These biscuits also tick lots of other boxes: no egg, no sugar, no dairy, no wheat.

Ingredients
- 400g can chickpeas (drained, rinsed and patted dry with paper towel)

- 3/4 cups cashew paste
- 1/4 cup rice malt syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup carob soy buttons or chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
Directions
Note
Low Chemical / Failsafe, Very High Amines
While this recipe is technically low chemical if using the soy carob buttons; vanilla and cashews need to be limited on the Failsafe or Elimination diets, so these should be treated as an occasional food.
This recipe will be gluten-free if using gluten-free baking powder, and dairy-free if dairy-free chocolate or carob is used.
The biscuits will be cooked on the outside but still moist on the inside.
