Ingredients in Healthy Cookie Dough Balls

  • Rolled oat: The perfect gluten-free grain! Make sure they are certified gluten-free if needed due to an allergy or celiac disease.
  • Natural peanut butter: The natural kind works best to get the proper consistency. I used the smooth type, but chunky peanut butter would add a nice crunch, let me know if you try it out!
  • Honey: To add a touch of sweetness.
  • Coconut oil: A little bit of melted coconut oil helps to bind the dough together.
  • Vanilla extract and cinnamon: To get the classic cookie dough flavour.
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chocolate chips: Feel free to get creative, substitute the chocolate for chopped nuts, dried fruit. You could even used chopped dark chocolate!

Serving Ideas

As a snack:

  • On their own! These healthy cookie dough bites contain protein and healthy fats that will keep you satisfied for hours.
  • With apple slices or your favourite fruit.
  • Crumble one of the balls up to top vanilla yogurt & granola for fancy snack.

As a dessert:

  • Chop up a ball or 2 and mix it into some vanilla ice cream as a DIY cookie dough ice cream flavour!
  • Of course, these little bites are perfect on their own to end off a meal on a sweet note.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Course Dessert, Snack
Servings 12 balls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup rolled oats, blended (or about 1½ cups oat flour) Use certified gluten-free oats if needed
  • 1/2 cup natural, smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Does this garlic peeling hack really work? 🧄 Does this garlic peeling hack really work? 🧄 

Garlic is probably my most reliably used ingredient in all my recipes so any way to make peeling less of a pain, I’m interested!

Goes to show the usual way is usually the best way, but any pros can let me know if I did this wrong 😅
