Ingredients & Substitutions
Oat Flour: You can substitute with additional almond flour, coconut flour, or a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to use gluten-free oats. You can quickly grind your oat flour from rolled oats in a high-speed blender.
Almond Flour: You can substitute with additional oat flour, coconut flour, or a gluten-free flour blend
Almond Butter: You can use natural peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or a natural nut butter of your choice.
Maple Syrup: Use artificial or pure maple syrup. Honey, agave syrup, date syrup, or coconut nectar can be used instead. Or use the liquid sweetener of your choice.
Chia Seeds: You can omit or replace them with flax seeds (ground), hemp seeds, or sesame seeds. I like to use white chia seeds to lighten the color of the cookie dough. But they taste the same as black chia seeds.
Vanilla Extract: You can omit or replace it with almond extract, maple extract, or coconut extract.
Mini Chocolate Chips: You can omit or replace them with chopped dark chocolate, dark chocolate chips, carob chips, or cacao nibs.
How to Make My Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bliss Bites
Step 1. Blend the Ingredients
Begin by adding all the ingredients except for the mini chocolate chips into your food processor. Blend on high until all the ingredients are combined and a large ball of dough forms.
Step 2. Add The Chocolate Chips
Add the mini chocolate chips and pulse several times until combined.
Step 3. Scoop and Roll Bites
Form the dough balls with either a small cookie scoop or by scooping the dough by hand. Then roll the dough in the palms of your hands until smooth ball forms.
Vegan Cookie Dough Bites Recipe Notes
Dough Consistency: Check the dough consistency by scooping a small amount and rolling it in your hands. If it’s too dry, you can add a bit of maple syrup or almond milk. If it’s too wet, you can add more oat flour.
Suggested Add-ins: Some delicious options to add in include dried fruit, medjool dates, trail mix, ground flax seed, and chopped nuts. You can also break them up and serve them in your favorite ice cream.
Increase Protein: To increase the protein, replace several tablespoons of the flour with a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Use vegan vanilla protein powder for best results.
