Whoever thought "clean eating" and "cookie dough" could be in the same name? Not me! But thankfully I was proven wrong. These safe to eat Clean Eating Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites are easy to make and a healthier dessert option for anyone looking to stay fit, but not over indulge.
Can anyone honestly say they didn't hover in the kitchen while their parents baked cookies just to lick the batter out of the bowl? Eating raw cookie dough may not the best idea in the world, but these eggless, flourless, and refined sugar free cookie dough bites are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth. I am a firm believer that you can live a healthy lifestyle and still enjoy a little bit of heaven every once and a while.
My version of raw cookie dough is made healthy with simple ingredients. There is no need to include too many products when the ones you have are wonderful as is. The combination of oats and cashews create a rich, creamy dough consistency. While the addition of natural honey and maple syrup give you just the perfect amount of sweetness. What's even better is that there is no cooking or baking necessary for this amazing dessert.
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
- 1 5oz can Roasted/Salted Cashews
- ⅔ cup Oats
- 4 tablespoon Honey or Agave Nectar
- 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Chocolate Chips or Carob Chips
HOW DO I MAKE CLEAN EATING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BITES?
In a blender, combine ⅔ cups oats and one 5 oz can of roasted/salted cashews. Pulse slowly, so that you do not over mix the ingredients. You do not want to end up with a creamy nut butter, instead of a powder like consistency we are striving for.
Transfer mixture into a large bowl, then add 4 tablespoon honey (or agave nectar if you want a vegan version), 2 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients well.
Last, mix in ½ cup chocolate chips (again, you can use carob chips if you want a vegan version) and form approximately 12 cookie dough balls on parchment paper or plate. Place the cookie dough balls in your freezer and let sit for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
With these Clean Eating Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites there will be no more sneaking around trying to eat cookie dough on the sly. Enjoy your dessert in the open! It's the perfect way to treat yourself without going overboard.
