No-Bake Cookie Dough Bites {Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Peanut-Free}
Description
This recipe transforms cashews and rolled oats into a wholesome, edible cookie dough alternative by processing them finely to a coarse flour-like texture, then binding the mixture with maple syrup and pure vanilla extract. The addition of ground cinnamon and salt balances sweetness and adds warmth to the flavor profile. Mini chocolate chips kneaded in bring a classic cookie dough element without adding dairy or eggs.
The bites are formed by rolling spoonfuls of dough into balls that can be eaten immediately or chilled to firm up further, offering flexibility in texture preference. Their no-bake nature and allergen-free ingredients make them suitable for a variety of dietary needs while satisfying cookie dough cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews unsalted
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats use gluten-free oats, if needed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract pure
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips use dairy-free chocolate chips, if needed
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the cashews, oats, salt and cinnamon and process until the mixture is finely ground (but don't overprocess until it becomes a paste!).
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla, and process until the dough forms a cohesive ball; this might take longer than you think. It should do more than just "come together," the dough should stick together in one large mass.
- Remove the blade from the food processor and add the chocolate chips, kneading them in with your hands.
- Scoop out tablespoon-size portions of dough and roll into balls with your hands. Refrigerate to firm up a bit or eat immediately.
