Craving a guilt-free indulgence that satisfies your sweet tooth without compromising your health goals? Look no further! These delectable cookie dough bites are not only easy to make but also packed with wholesome ingredients that will leave you feeling energized and satisfied.
1 & 1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tbsp milk of choice (I used oat milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
For the chocolate coating:
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Preparation is Key: Before diving into the recipe, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This ensures smoother mixing and better texture.
Mix and Fold: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until a dough forms. Then, gently fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Chill Out: Place the bowl of dough in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and roll into perfect bite-sized balls.
Roll and Freeze: After chilling, remove the dough from the freezer and roll it into small, uniform balls. Place the balls on a parchment paper-lined plate or baking sheet and return them to the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tsp of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Dip and Decorate: Once the dough balls are firm, remove them from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper-lined plate.
Final Freeze: Sprinkle a touch of sea salt over the chocolate-coated balls for an extra burst of flavor. Then, return the plate to the freezer for another 1-2 hours, allowing the chocolate to set completely.
Once the chocolate has set, your homemade cookie dough bites are ready to be devoured! These little treats are perfect for satisfying sweet cravings, serving as a delightful dessert, or even as a quick pick-me-up snack.
So, whether you're treating yourself or impressing guests, whip up a batch of these irresistible cookie dough bites. With their wholesome ingredients and heavenly taste, they're sure to become a favorite in your repertoire of sweet treats. Enjoy the blissful indulgence guilt-free!
