Healthy Cookie Dough
Description
The Healthy Cookie Dough recipe uses simple, natural ingredients such as all-natural creamy peanut butter, oat flour, and pure maple syrup for sweetness. The melted coconut oil and vanilla extract blend smoothly with dry ingredients to form a cohesive dough. Folding in chocolate chips adds bursts of sweetness and contrast in texture. Since it’s uncooked dough, this preparation avoids baking and is ready to serve immediately after mixing and chilling.
The peanut butter base gives richness and a slightly salty undertone, balancing the sweetness from maple syrup and chocolate chips. Oat flour provides a gentle chewiness and wholesome body. This mixture holds together well, making it perfect for scooping as a snack or a safe-to-eat dough on-the-go.
To keep the flavor fresh and texture intact, store the dough in the refrigerator up to four days. Variations can include almond or cashew butter, or sunflower butter for a nut-free option, and homemade oat flour made by processing oats to a powder consistency. The recipe’s flexibility allows adaptation to preferences without compromising the consistent creamy and sweet character of the dough.

Instructions
