I keep seeing people on social media raving about dates with butter and it tasting like cookie dough. I had to finally try it for myself! While I think itâs truly delicious, it wasnât quite giving cookie dough for me⊠BUT it inspired me to use dates to create a GUILT-FREE cookie dough bite, full of healthy ingredients. And wow, you must try these! Guilt-Free Cookie Dough Bites Recipe INGREDIENTS -7 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped - 1/2 cup oat flour - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/8 teaspoon almond extract (optional) - 1/4 cup cashew butter - 2 teaspoons agave - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt - Water (as needed) - 70% chocolate (chopped) (can also use mini semi sweet chips) - 2 tablespoons for the dough and about 2oz for the coating - 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil for the chocolate shell - Flake sea salt for garnish STEPS 1. In a food processor blend the dates until they are a thick paste. Add in the oat flour and salt and pulse until blended (it will be dry). 2. Add in the vanilla extract, almond extract and cashew butter and agave and blend until combined and starts to resemble cookie dough. Add a splash of water and blend again. Add more water as needed until itâs a sticky cookie dough texture. 3. Use a spoon to stir in the chopped chocolate or mini chips. Use a tablespoon to form equal size balls and roll them in your hands to make them smooth. 4. Place the balls on a parchment lined tray and place them in the fridge or freezer while you prepare the chocolate shell. 5. In a microwavable bowl add 2 oz of the 70% chocolate and the coconut oil. Melt in the microwave until smooth. 6. Dip the dough balls in the melted chocolate using two forks and then carefully place them on a parchment lined tray. Sprinkle the tops with a pinch of flake sea salt. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes or until set. Enjoy!!Â
