No-Bake Sugar Cookie Bites
Description
This recipe mixes oat and almond flours with coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to form a dough that's soft but holds together when rolled into balls. The mixture is lightly sweetened and fragranced with vanilla, delivering a natural sweetness and mild nutty flavor from the almond flour.
They are shaped using a small scoop and hand-rolled to firm balls, with tips to adjust moisture using additional syrup or coconut oil if the dough is crumbly. The bites resemble traditional sugar cookie dough but are eaten raw, providing a convenient no-bake dessert option.
Optional toppings like shredded coconut or gluten-free sprinkles add texture and visual appeal. Variations can include almond extract to deepen the flavor note, which should be added sparingly. The no-bake method makes these cookie bites accessible and quick to prepare without heating.
Ingredients
COOKIE DOUGH
- 1 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free as needed)
- 1 cup almond flour (not meal)
- 1/8 tsp sea salt plus more to taste
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil refined, melted
- 4 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
GLAZE optional
- 2 Tbsp coconut butter melted
FOR TOPPING optional
- coconut shredded or desiccated
- Sprinkles gluten-free as needed, vegan-friendly
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet or flat plate with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, and salt. Next add coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon until dough comes together and resembles cookie dough. It should be slightly tacky but not stick to your hands, and it shouldn’t be crumbly. If too dry, add a bit more maple syrup or melted coconut oil.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, vanilla to taste, or salt to balance / enhance the flavors.
- Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls. We recommend placing the dough in the palm of one hand and using gentle pressure with the middle three fingers of your other hand to roll into a ball. If they’re too crumbly, they likely just need a bit more maple syrup or melted coconut oil to help moisten. They don’t roll quite as easily as date bites (which are stickier) but do hold together well once rolled.
- Place cookie bites onto the parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. If topping only with sprinkles, roll the bites in sprinkles and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. If adding glaze, chill the bites for 15 minutes in the refrigerator or freezer before adding glaze.
- GLAZE: Melt coconut butter until just spoonable / pourable. Then drizzle onto the chilled sugar cookie bites. Option to decorate with sprinkles or shredded coconut. Transfer back to the refrigerator or freezer to chill for 15 minutes, then enjoy!
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Adding almond extract in small increments enhances flavor but is optional for variations.
- The dough should be slightly tacky; add extra maple syrup or melted coconut oil if too dry or crumbly for easy rolling.
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour if needed to keep the bites gluten-free.
- Optional toppings like shredded coconut or sprinkles add texture and festive appearance.
