Wholesome Ingredients I Used to Make These
These no bake cookie dough bites are actually good for you!
They are completely refined sugar-free, have only a tiny bit of coconut flour, and are packed with dates and cashews.
Basically, all of these ingredients help with:
- It will keep you full longer
- Boosting your energy level
- Give you a boost of joy in every bite
You are not going to believe that all that’s needed for these no bake cookie dough bites are 4 wholesome ingredients. And actually, one of them is optional… But not really.
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 this raw and gluten-free recipe together I choose to use coconut flour.
And another reason coconut flour wins over regular wheat flour is that it doesn’t have to be baked before consumed, which means that it’s perfect for no bake and raw desserts.
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.
And besides adding chocolate chips will make your happy hormones dance.
To keep this recipe vegan, go for chocolate that’s high in cacao content.
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.
Then, in a food processor, pulse together soaked and rinsed cashews and pitted Medjool dates and blend until smooth and doughy.
If too wet, add coconut flour. I usually need about 1/4 of a cup, but it depends on the texture of the dates and other factors.
Next, fold in chocolate chips. If you are using regular size chocolate chips you can pulse them first to make them a little smaller if you prefer.
Lastly, press the no bake cookie dough into a parchment paper-lined 8×8 pan and freeze for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Cut into bitesized pieces and enjoy!
How to store these raw chocolate chip cookie dough bites
You can store these energy bites either in the fridge or in the Freezer. Personally, I prefer to store them in the freezer and they will literally thaw in your hand in minutes.
You can store them in an air-tight container for 1 month, but honestly, they probably won’t last that long…
