Healthy Cookie Dough
This no-bake cookie dough recipe is very simple and nutritious. Composed of inexpensive, pantry-friendly ingredients you likely already have on hand, it requires no fancy equipment or cooking skills. I've designed it to be a guilt-free way to enjoy a sweet treat, substituting honey for sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup nut butter almond or peanut
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the nut butter, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.
- After blending the dough ingredients together, it is important to let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Gently form the dough into evenly sized balls by hand. Alternatively, for an easy one-bowl meal, simply scoop the dough into bowls or shallow dishes without shaping it first if you plan to dig right in while it's fresh.
Notes
- Keep remaining portions in the refrigerator for about a month, or sealed at room temperature for approximately 3 days.
- Dairy can be omitted by using non-dairy butter and chocolate alternatives.
- Option to include mix-ins similar to coconut flakes, cashew butter, almond butter, peanut butter or any nut butter, walnuts, finely chopped pecans.
