I love cooking and baking with my almost three-year-old daughter. It’s so fun to watch her learn about food and enjoy the experience as much as I do, even if things tend to get a little messy. One thing she looooves doing is taste testing, especially when it comes to the sweets. And when the raw eggs go into the dough she knows it’s no longer taste testing time, but — with this recipe, no eggs means she can pick and spoon at the batter all she wants. And that makes her a happy girl!

My Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Bites are simply divine. They are the perfect sweet treat whether you’ve got a late night sweet tooth, are craving a little something after dinner or just need an afternoon pick me up. They’re made from all whole, quality ingredients and are something you can be happy about feeding yourself and your family. You might just want to be prepared to make a double batch because, if you’re anything like my family, it’s hard to keep these babies on hand.

With just eight simple ingredients, you can whip these up in minutes and have something satisfying to munch on.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Bites

servings: about 18 small balls

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup almond flour
• ½ cup whole grain oats
• 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
• 3 Tbsp creamy almond butter
• 4 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla
• pinch sea salt (or a little more if you like a sweet + salty combo)
• ½ dark chocolate bar, cut into chunks — or about ½ cup dark chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, combine oats, almond flour, sea salt and coconut sugar. In a separate small bowl or cup, combine almond butter, coconut oil and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until well incorporated. Add chocolate chunks and stir until evenly dispersed. Take tablespoon size amounts of batter and, using your hands, squeeze and roll the batter into balls until they are somewhat firm. Add balls to a lined baking sheet and put in the freezer for 1-2 hours until they are set. Transfer to the fridge and an airtight container and store for up to a week. You can also store and eat them right out of the freezer. Enjoy!
