A healthy pumpkin dip recipe that’s perfect to serve at a party with apples, celery, graham crackers, or whatever you wish!
Every time fall rolls around, I dust off my boots and sweaters, beg my friends to go to the apple orchard with me, and (most of all) buy multiple cans of pumpkin puree to make it into delicious and healthy treats. I can give or take apple desserts, but PUMPKIN I can’t resist. I get pumpkin wasted. I love pumpkin so much I could marry it. Okay you get the point.
So I’ve seen a version of this cookie dough dip that uses chickpeas, oats and chocolate chips to make an edible healthy cookie dough! I thought to myself … what would make that delicious treat even more delicious? But of course – adding pumpkin!
Lucky for me I had a half a can left over from my Pumpkin Pie Bars, so thus was born this Healthy Pumpkin Cookie Dough Dip.
It has the consistency of cookie dough (although a bit thinner) and is loaded with pumpkin flavor. I served it with apples, but this would be amazing with graham crackers, pretzels, on a spoon, etc.
What’s even better is how easy it is to make. Throw all the ingredients in your food processor and blend away. You can even shape these into protein balls, just add a couple scoops of protein to the food processor, roll, and freeze. GENIUS.
