How many people, vegan or not, have made up batches of cookie dough that never even made it to the oven?
Well there’s no need to pretend here… if you love cookie dough, put away the oven gloves and whip up a batch of these delicious raw vegan cookie dough bites!
They make a tasty and healthy bite sized treat, great for school lunch boxes or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup raw almonds
2/3 cup raw walnuts
2/3 cup raw oat flakes
(see note below)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup raw agave nectar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Directions:
1. Place the almond, walnuts, oats, cinnamon and salt into a food processor and mix to a
fine meal.
2. Add the agave nectar and vanilla and process to combine.
3. Next add the chocolate chips (or cacao nibs) and just pulse to combine.
4. Roll the dough into balls about 1 tbsp each and place them on a cookie pan. Wet your hands if the dough is too sticky.
5. Place the pan into the freezer for about an hour to firm up.
6. Store balls in a tightly covered container in the freezer.
Raw oat flakes can be substituted for regular rolled oats or gluten-free oats, if you want. However, if you want this treat to be truly raw, look for raw oat flakes, which haven’t been steamed or toasted.
Also just remember, that although this is a healthy cookie dough recipe made with nutritious ingredients, it is still a high calorie treat nonetheless. Great for active growing children but best eaten in moderation if you are watching your weight.
At least a few cookie dough bites are better than a whole bowl… that was destined for the oven!
