HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BITES

I love eating these healthy cookie dough bites for a snack or dessert. These Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites are perfect on-the-go or after a workout. They are loaded with wholesome oats, protein and the best part is they taste like actual cookie dough. What’s not to love about edible cookie dough?

WHY THESE BITES ARE AMAZING

  • Not only are these healthy cookie dough bites easy to make, they are full of protein so they will keep you fueled and satisfied.
  • You don’t have to bake these bites and take less than 5 minutes to make.
  • There are only 6 ingredients- most ingredients are in your pantry!
  • They are healthy and nutritious.
  • These can be customized to your preference. They can also be vegan and gluten-free. Simply use gluten-free oats, vegan chocolate and vegan protein powder.

HOW TO MAKE OAT FLOUR

I often times make my oat flour at home if I can’t find it at the store. Oat flour is extremely easy and takes seconds to make! All you need to make oat flour is a food processor.

Place the rolled-oats in a food processor and pulse until the oats are ground into a powder-like consistency. Ensure the oats have been finely ground by using a spoon to mix the oats in the food processor and then pulse once more.

STORAGE

The good news is this cookie dough lasts a lot longer than regular cookie dough! To store leftover cookie dough bites, place the bites in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. These are convenient to grab in the fridge when you are craving something sweet and or need an energy boost.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Chocolate chips: you can add any chocolate chip flavor you prefer. Some other ideas are white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or you can leave the chocolate out for plain cookie dough bites!

Milk: you can use almond milk instead of regular milk. I recommend using vanilla flavored almond milk for more flavor.

Oats: you can use gluten-free oats to make this a gluten-free snack!

Nuts: if you want to add more protein, add 1/4- 1/3 cup of your favorite chopped nuts to this. Some of my favorites are almonds or walnuts.

Protein powder: I like to use vanilla protein powder to compliment the cookie dough flavor but you could also use chocolate protein powder to make a chocolate base cookie dough. You could also use unflavored protein powder.

Notes

  1. You can make your cookie dough bites as small or large as you want. Please note your yield will change depending on how small or large they are. You will yield about 20 for a standard larger size (made with a mini ice cream scoop), 30 for a medium size, and 40 for a smaller size. 
  2. These can be customized to your preference. They can also be vegan and gluten-free. Simply use gluten-free oats, vegan chocolate and vegan protein powder.
