Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (semi sweet or vegan)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Grind the oats and nuts: In a food processor, combine the old fashioned oats, walnuts, and raw cashews. Grind for about 1 minute until the mixture is finely ground but not powdery, creating a coarse flour-like texture.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the honey, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and chocolate chips to the food processor. Pulse several times just until everything is combined evenly. Avoid over-processing to keep the chips intact.
- Form the bites: Using a 1 teaspoon measure, scoop the mixture and roll into small bite-sized balls with your hands. This helps ensure even sizing and easy portion control.
- Freeze the bites: Arrange the formed balls in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
- Store properly: Transfer the frozen cookie dough bites to a zip-top freezer bag or airtight glass container. Label with date and store in the freezer for up to 3 months for best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Use semi-sweet or vegan chocolate chips based on dietary preference.
- Make sure the food processor is powerful enough to create a smooth texture from nuts and oats.
- For a nut-free version, substitute nuts with additional seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- These bites are great as a quick snack or pre-workout fuel.
- Allow bites to thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before eating for best texture.
