Chocolate Almond Bites

These delicious frozen bites are unbaked, super-simple and taste like cookie dough! The good news is that you can enjoy them as an anytime snack without guilt. We’ve even helped out with portion control. Conventional cookie doughs are loaded with unhealthy animal fats and full of processed white sugar. Not these!

Total time: 65-70 minutes

Active time: 20 minutes

3/4 cup GF rolled oats

3/4 cup almond flour

2 tablespoons chopped almonds

2 tablespoons coconut sugar

2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut

4 tablespoons chocolate chips

1/2 cup almond butter

5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon maca powder

1 teaspoon hemp seeds

1. In a food processor or blender, pulse the oats until they are a light floury texture.
2. Combine the powdered oats, almond flour, chopped almonds, coconut sugar, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla, maple syrup, sea salt, maca, and hemp seeds. The dough should be a little sticky. If it is too dry, add a touch of non-dairy milk and stir again until it comes together.
3. Place the dough on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm up. If the mixture is still too sticky, add a light dusting of almond flour or oat flour. Shape into small balls with barely wet or lightly greased fingers. Place on a plate or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and return to the freezer.
4. Freeze for at least an hour or until firm.

Makes 12-14 bites
