Raw Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bites – GLUTEN FREE

Posted by krystalbland on Jul 4, 2012 in Dessert, Krystal, Nutrition | 0 comments

Who loves to eat cake batter, cookie batter, brownie batter before you bake it? ME! Both my hands are raised LOL. I recently ran across a blog and it was a lady who found a way to make cookie dough without the guilt!

Last night I made these cookie dough bites and they were gone in 5 hours – my family devoured them (I might have had 3 or 4 of them too hehe). Needless to say, they might be a healthy version of eating cookie dough, but I can see myself munching on these way too much, so I will only be able to make them for special occasions!
Ingredients

• 2/3 cup raw almonds
• 2/3 cup raw walnuts
• 2/3 cup raw oat flakes or Gluten Free oats (see note below)
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup raw agave nectar
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a food processor, process the almonds, walnuts, oats, cinnamon and salt to a fine meal.
2. Add the agave nectar and vanilla and process to combine.
3. Next, add the cocoa nibs (or chocolate chips) and pulse just to combine.
4. Roll the cookie dough into balls (about 1 tbsp each) and place them on a cookie pan lined with parchment paper. Place the pan in the freezer for about an hour to firm up. Store balls in a tightly covered container in the freezer.
