- Vegan
- Dairy Free
Ingredients
- 1 serving (31g) Just Blends Creamy Vanilla Protein
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup almond meal
- ⅓ cup natural almond butter
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp softened coconut oil
- 2 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1–3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (if needed)
Optional
- Desiccated coconut for rolling half the bites
Method
- Pulse the rolled oats in a food processor until they're a mix of fine oat flour and small flakes.
- Add the Vanilla Protein and almond meal, then pulse to combine.
- Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and melted coconut oil.
- Pulse until the mixture just comes together. It should still look slightly crumbly.
- If the mixture is too dry, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time.
- Fold through the chocolate chips.
- Roll into 12 firm bite-sized balls using lightly damp hands if needed.
- Roll half the bites in desiccated coconut, leaving the remaining bites plain.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Pro Tip
For the best cookie dough texture, the mixture should look slightly crumbly rather than smooth. When squeezed in your hand it should hold together without feeling wet. This creates the perfect soft cookie dough texture. It should hold together when pressed while still having a soft, homemade bite.
Storage
Store the Cookie Dough Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Allow frozen bites to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before enjoying.
