These cookie dough bites are one of my favorite snacks. They’re simple to make, wholesome, and truly taste like a spoonful of cookie dough. I love that they satisfy a sweet craving while using nourishing ingredients, so you can enjoy a dessert-like treat without the guilt.
My kids call these “treat balls” and always ask for them. They feel like a special dessert even though they’re packed with oats, almond flour, and good fats—win for everyone.
Ingredients you’ll need:
- Oats
- Almond flour
- Maple syrup
- Coconut oil
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Vanilla
- Peanut butter
These bites come together quickly in a food processor. Start by pulsing the oats until they form a coarse flour, then add the remaining ingredients and blend until the mixture forms a soft, cohesive dough. Scoop by tablespoon, roll into balls, and chill until set.
Tip: I like to microwave a bite for 8–10 seconds before eating so it’s just a bit warm, but they’re delicious straight from the fridge too.
Enjoy!
