Healthy Cookie Dough Bites

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Healthy cookie dough bites? Count me in!! I was inspired to make a yummy snack with staying power that was also fairly reminiscent of cookie dough. I wanted to keep it real easy and real tasty. Enter these healthy bites! They’re low in sugar and pack a nice protein punch thanks to nut butter and flax seeds. I’ve only ever made them with the below ingredients, but feel free to experiment with what you have on hand and let me know if your substitutions work out! I hope you enjoy and would love to hear your feedback over on Instagram @eatwellwithdanielle!

Healthy Cookie Dough Bites

A perfectly healthy protein-packed snack that will remind you of cookie dough!
Course Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Keyword gluten free, healthy snack, healthy treats, no bake, one bowl, refined sugar free, vegan
Prep Time 5 minutes
Fridge Time 30 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour I buy mine pre-made but you can also blend oats in a food processor to make your own!
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup drippy, creamy nut butter - I like to use a mix of peanut butter and almond butter If you use only peanut butter, the bites will take on a stronger peanut flavor. I enjoy the mix of the two! I roughly use 1/4 cup of each.
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil You can also sub melted, cooled coconut oil if you'd like.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Navitas cacao nibs + Lily's dark chocolate chips I LOVE the mix of the two. The cacao nibs are nice and crunchy. They pack a ton of antioxidants and fiber. The chocolate chips are sweeter and bigger, so the combo is fabulous. I love Navitas and Lily's!
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Grab a medium bowl. Combine all of your ingredients in any order! I like to use a rubber spatula.
  • Once combined, you should have a cookie dough-esque consistency. If you don't, I'd venture to say your nut butter wasn't creamy enough. Make sure you pick natural, runny nut butters and avoid the hard stuff at the bottom of the jars! You can always add an extra tbsp of avocado oil if needed to get the right texture.
  • Using a 1.5 inch cookie scoop, create 12 cookie dough bites and put them on a plate covered with wax paper. Pop into the fridge to set for 30 minutes and enjoy! COOKIE DOUGH HEAVEN AM I RIGHT? .. but healthier!
  • After the bites set for 30 minutes, I like to transfer them to an airtight container to keep in the fridge for 1-2 weeks (if they last that long). You can also store them in the freezer for up to 3 months and defrost them in the fridge when you're ready to eat!

I'm obsessed with how soft & delicate these cookies are, thx to a blend of almond and coconut flours. There's just enough lemon to make them slightly tart but still sweet ☺️
⁣
Catch them this Saturday at my pop up at @fernbotanica 12-5PM 🌿 These babies always sell out so get there early or pre-order a box! πŸ’›πŸ˜˜
How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip coo How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip cookie? Asking for a friend ... πŸ˜†

I wasn’t planning on recipe testing these babies until later today but I woke up craving joy and baking brings me just that ❀️ Make sure you carve out time today just for YOU ... without a real agenda or plan or purpose. Just because it makes you smile 😊

Also, will report back on cookies. I really want to stuff them with ice cream and freeze them so they β€œset” like a proper ice cream sandwich!!🍦πŸͺ
I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up: comparison, restless brain, and success. Here's what I have for you ...⁣
⁣
1. Comparison is the thief of joy. Stop comparing!! You are unique, wonderful, capable, and SO amazing in your own right.⁣ ❀️
⁣
2. Don't believe everything you "think". Thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts are not facts. β£πŸ€”
⁣
3. You are confined only by the walls you build yourself. If you want to see change, grab your hammer & tear down those walls! YOU are in charge of your trajectory .. no one else.⁣ πŸ”¨
⁣
Also, unrelated, but here's your Monday reminder to check in on your peeps. Most everyone I've talked to in the past few weeks is going through some real tough stuff. Be that person that brings them a little levity and some love. And if you (safely) can, hug 'em tight! I love hugs lol.⁣ πŸ€—
⁣
Which resonates w you most - 1, 2 or 3?  Hope you all have a great week!!! πŸ’–

Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're re Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're reading!!) commented on how much she ❀️ my mini 🍌 bread and I realized I never shared the recipe!! 

These cutie loaves are SO simple, fluffy, made with the best mix of flours (hi almond, hi oat), lightly sweetened, and packed with vegan chocolate chips! πŸ˜‹

Here's what you need:
β€’ 1 cup mashed banana ~ 2 large or 3 small 🍌 (overripe!) 
β€’ 2 eggs πŸ₯š
β€’ 1/4 cup coconut oil πŸ₯₯ - melted & cooled 
β€’ 1/3 cup maple syrup 🍁
β€’ 1 tsp vanilla extract 
β€’ 1 cup GF oat flour 
β€’ 1 cup almond flour 
β€’ 1.5 tsp baking powder
β€’ 1 tsp cinnamon
β€’ 1/4 tsp salt
β€’ 2/3 cup @enjoylifefoods choc chips 🍫

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your mini loaf tin (should make 7 loaves). Mash bananas in a bowl and mix in the wet ingredients - eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients - flours, BP, cinnamon, salt - and stir to combine. Fold in choc chips. Equally distribute among greased tins. Bake for 25 mins (or until toothpick comes out clean). Let cool and enjoy! πŸ’›
