Cookie dough is a huge weakness of mine so when I came across the idea of healthy cookie dough, I knew I had to try it! My recipe is a mixture of all the ones I've seen in the past and I have to say, it's a winner.
Being gluten-free, vegan, refined sugar-free and grain-free, these will suit even the fussiest of eaters, and the secret ingredient (chickpeas!) and nut butter means you get an adequate serving of carbs and protein as well. They also freeze quite well if you leave them to defrost in the fridge before eating, meaning they're perfect for on-the-go snacks!
COOKIE DOUGH BITES
(Makes 8)
Ingredients
Method
I served them with some raspberry-banana "nice cream" (1/2 cup frozen raspberries blended with 2 frozen bananas and a splash of coconut water) and fresh fruit for breakfast, but these are great by themselves as a snack, with vegan coconut ice-cream for a dessert or a raw chocolate drizzle for something extra fancy! Hope you like them!
