Cookie Dough Bites

VEGETARIAN, FISH FREE, EGG FREE, DAIRY FREE*

VGEAN**

This cookie dough recipe, inspired by Oh She Glows, is a healthier version meant to be eaten raw that won’t leave you feeling sick!

½ cup raw nuts

¼ cup rolled oats

¼ cup flour (I used plain but wholemeal would be even better)

½ teaspoon salt

1.5 tablespoons brown sugar

1.5 tablespoon of honey

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup dairy free chocolate chips

1.       Process nuts and oats in a food processor into a fine crumble.

2.       Add salt, sugar and flour, process for another minute.

3.       Add honey and vanilla, process until sticky.

4.       Stir in chocolate chips and using clean hands, roll mixture into balls.

*As always, if you have allergies double check the individual ingredients J I use regular dark chocolate chips in my cookie as I’m not concerned about trace amounts of dairy, but if you are looking for chocolate that is completely dairy-free, Sweet William make dairy free chocolate chips.

** This recipe can be made vegan by replacing the honey with pure maple syrup.
