No Bake Cookie Dip {Recipe ReDux}

I'm sure by now most of you have heard of the deliciousness that is Cookie Butter.


I haven't tried the crunchy stuff yet, to be honest I'm a bit scared I'll become addicted, but I did find a half eaten jar of the regular kind hidden in my cabinet last week.  A tried a little spoonful, and bam, I was hooked again.

Spreadable cookies in a jar is something I doubt many can resist.


In an attempt to make the remaining butter disappear before I could stuff it all into my mouth in one go, I decided to use it in a bit of my baking.  Or, in this case, no baking.  This months recipe ReDux theme is to go raw and create a quick, no bake, healthy dessert.

I took the cookie route and added a couple tablespoons of Cookie Butter to a typical Cookie Dough Dip recipe.  The result was a thick dip with hints of cinnamon and gingerbread and quite the addictive quality.  If you decide to make it, I must warn you, it may last even less time than the cookie butter.


Cookie Dip (With Cookie Butter!)

  • 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed well
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 banana
  • 3 tbsp cookie butter
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.  Blend on and off until ingredients are well mixed and a thick mixture has formed.  Make sure there are no chickpeas clumps.  Scoop into a bowl and store in fridge until serving time.  Use as a dip for cookies or fruit, or spread onto toast.

  1. This cookie dip sounds amazing! I used to make sweet bean dips all the time, but I haven't in a long while. This looks like a great way to get back into the groove!

  4. Just a heads up, the speculoos cookie butter which is added to the dip is not actually vegan or gluten free.

    1. Oh wow, of course it's not gluten free. Silly me! For some reason I thought it was vegan, thanks for the tip.
