Why I love these no bake cookie dough bites

I am seriously obsessed with No Bake desserts, as you know. And these vegan chocolate chip cookie dough bites are no exception.

And you know what!? They are so fudging delicious! And the texture is so perfect. They are so fudgy, gooey, and soft, with a little crunch from the chocolate chips. 

They are packed with healthy fats, protein and therefore are loaded with natural energy, which makes them perfect as pre-workout snacks, morning energy boost, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

They are not only delicious and packed with healthy energy, but they are also so easy to make! 

All you need is a food processor, a spatula, and 4 simple paleo and gluten-free ingredients. And that’s it. 

Oh and patients. Not that they will take very long to make, more like 10 minutes or so, but for a perfect result they need to sit in the freezer for about 4 hours.

And that is seriously the hardest part about these no bake cookie dough bites.

Ingredients to make CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BITES

You are not going to believe that all that’s needed for these no bake cookie dough bites are 4 healthy 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, they are packed with healthy fats, but also full of protein which makes these no bake cookie dough bars 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. 

Dates are also a really good source of fiber and are in general a good for gut health. You can read more about dates and their health benefits here.

Coconut flour 
To bind this raw and gluten-free recipe together I choose to use coconut flour. Not only is it a grain-free flour, but it is also perfect for paleo and keto baking.

And another benefit coconut flour has 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 some extra antioxidants to this recipe, chocolate chips will make your happy hormones dance. 

To keep this recipe vegan and as healthy as possible, 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…
