These healthy cookie dough balls literally take minutes to make and satisfy that sweet craving which we sure we all get, well we know we definitely do. They only contain 5 ingredients, and in this case simplicity is everything. You can also make different variations using different types of nut butters to keep things interesting. They are perfect for dessert, to add into frozen banana ‘nice cream’ or just to have as a snack between meals. These are vegan, gluten free and paleo and UTTERLY DELICIOUS!
We like to make all our snacks ourselves as it ensures we know exactly what’s in them. So many snacks you buy in the shops are filled with additives, stabilizers or hidden sugars. Or if they aren’t filled with sugar, they contain sweeteners which are so harmful to the body and insulin levels
Step 1
Add the oats to food processor or nutribullet and pulse into oats resemble flour texture.
Step 2
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a spoon at the start but then I find using your hands is the best tool.
(If you find the mixture to dry and crumbly, add a few splashes of water)
Step 3
Chill in the fridge for around 30 mins - longer if possible. Best stored in fridge.
Step 4
Roll into equal sized balls using your hands and store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
