Simple Four Ingredients To Create the Magic
You are not going to believe that all that’s needed for these no bake cookie dough bites are 4 ingredients.
Raw cashews
Soaked raw cashews are the perfect foundation for these gluten-free dessert bars. As mentioned above, these no-bake cookie dough bars are the perfect pre-workout snack.
Medjool dates
I love using dates as a sweetener when I bake. The flavor is almost like caramel and so rich and sweet. When dates have dried, they become even sweeter and perfect to bake with.
Coconut flour
To bind the dough together I choose to use coconut flour or plain/vanilla pea protein powder.
Coconut flour does not need to be baked before consuming, making it the perfect flour to bind the dough. It also adds a subtle hint of coconut flavor.
Similar to coconut flour, pea protein powder is also a great binder because it absorbs liquid. And it adds extra protein to these treats.
Mini chocolate chips
If you ask me, no cookie dough recipe would be complete without chocolate chips; however, you don’t have to add them if you don’t want to. This no bake cookie dough bite recipe would still be delicious.
How to make No bake Cookie Dough bites
First, soak raw cashews overnight with a pinch of salt (or soak in hot water for 2 hours). Drain and rinse.
Freeze for 3-4 hours and cut into cubes.
How to store these raw chocolate chip cookie dough bites
These cookie dough bites are perfect for meal prep and can be stored for up to a month. Here’s how:
- In the Freezer: Store them in an airtight container for the longest shelf life. They thaw quickly, so you can enjoy them straight from the freezer in just a few minutes.
- In the Fridge: For a softer texture, keep them in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for about a week—if they last that long!
Pro tip: Make a double batch and keep some stashed away for emergencies. You’ll thank yourself later.
