Key ingredients and substitutions:
You should be able to find all of these simple ingredients at your local grocery store. For the exact measurements refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Almond flour - almond flour forms the base of these chocolate chip cookie bites. It gives this cookie dough a slightly sweet flavour and adds both healthy fats and protein to this dessert. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal as almond meal is too gritty. Do not try swapping the almond flour for all purpose flour.
- Coconut flour - this gives this quick sweet treat recipe even more sweet flavour and the perfect cookie dough texture. Do not try to swap this for a different flour.
- Nut butter - you can use any type of smooth, unsweetened nut butter that you prefer. I like using either cashew butter or peanut butter but other great options include almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Maple syrup or honey - either of these two natural liquid sweeteners can be used to naturally sweeten this dessert. Both of these sweeteners are refined sugar free which is why I prefer them. If you are vegan be sure to use maple syrup rather than honey.
- Coconut oil - this is used instead of butter to add some oil to these cookie dough balls and make them even more moist.
- Vanilla extract - this helps enhance all the delicious flavours of this no bake recipe.
- Chocolate chips - you can use any type of chocolate chips that you like for these edible raw cookies. I prefer to use dark chocolate chips but other great options include semi-sweet chocolate chips, regular chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips. Other fun options would be peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips.
How to make:
Step one:
First, place all the ingredients (including both the dry ingredients and wet ingredients), except the chocolate chips, into a large bowl.

Top Tips:
- Be sure to stir the ingredients well so that you have a smooth cookie dough with no clumps remaining before adding the chocolate chips.
- For best results be sure to use melted coconut oil rather than solid coconut oil to make these little bites.
