Ingredient Notes
Old Fashioned Rolled Oats: Be sure to use old-fashioned oats for this recipe. Using quick or instant oats may make the edible cookie dough bites too dry.
Peanut Butter: I like a creamy natural peanut butter for this recipe. My favorite brand is Teddie. But you can also substitute almond or cashew butter if you prefer!
Applesauce: I didn't want to make these bites too sweet by adding a ton of agave. So, some store-bought applesauce did the trick. But, there is no detectable apple flavor in the finished product.
Agave Nectar: Agave sweetens and binds these little bliss balls together. Maple syrup will also work here.
Chocolate: Use either Mini Chocolate Chips or finely chopped chocolate. Don't use regular-sized chocolate chips!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1. First, blend rolled oats in the bowl of a food processor until they turn into a coarse flour.
Step 2. Then, add peanut butter, apple sauce, agave, vanilla and salt.
Step 3. Pulse the mixture until a dough forms.
Step 4. Then, fold mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough, scoop the mixture onto a plate, and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
Store these bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
They will not melt or get sticky at room temperature, though. So, you can toss a few in a small container and into your bag to have snacks throughout the day.
Not usually! Not only because of the raw eggs, but because flour needs to be heated before it can be safely consumed, too. But, these Edible No Bake Cookie Dough Bites are totally safe to eat straight from the food processor.
Expert Recipe Tips
I like to use a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the edible cookie dough, but if you don't have one, just use a spoon!

These look delicious!! I’ve made something similar to these, but I didn’t grind my oats. I also added coconut and flaxseed. Great on the go snack, but they’re dangerously addictive!

YUM! I bet so many variations of these would be so delicious!

Hey Megan,
If I wanted to do the nutritional facts on these I guess I could just take each ingredient, add those together and divide by the servings? Is that how you would do it? Thanks so much & go Cats!

Yeah that's how I'd do it!
