Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp oat flour
  • Pinch of salt (if none in nut butter)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (mini-sized preferred)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (salted peanut butter or cashew butter recommended)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (add more if needed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the oat flour, nut butter, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, salt, and chocolate chips until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
  2. Chill if Necessary: If the mixture feels too wet and sticky to roll into balls, place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle.
  3. Form Cookie Dough Balls: Once chilled or if the consistency is manageable, roll the dough into bite-sized balls using your hands.
  4. Storage: Store the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage. If frozen, allow them to defrost for a few minutes before eating for optimal texture.

Notes

  • Use salted nut butter or add a pinch of salt for a balanced flavor.
  • Adjust coconut oil quantity to achieve desired dough consistency.
  • Mini chocolate chips work best to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
  • These cookie dough balls are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature after slight defrosting.
  • Feel free to substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly variation.
