Thanks for all the comments yesterday on the wildfire! It is still burning away, close to 47,000 acres. My husband shot this picture … crazy stuff, but I love love the flower!
This week, I have been making these raw “bites” and putting them in the freezer, and then pulling them out to snack on. They are the perfect warm weather treat!
I made several variations. The good news is that you can flavor them however you want! At first, I made them with ground cashews and chocolate chips – kind of like a no bake chocolate chip cookie. Then I figure – almond flour really is just ground up almonds, so what if I used that? Then I made a version with some pecan flour! I can’t decide which ones I like best!
No Bake Cookie Dough Cookie Bites
Print this recipe!
1 cup ground nuts (cashews/pecans (or pecan flour)/almonds (or almond flour)
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/4 cup addins (extra sugar/shredded coconut/peanut butter (or peanut flour!)/chocolate chips
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp coconut oil
Mix together all ingredients.
Stir well to combine. Form into balls (I got 12 balls). Place in a covered container in the freezer to firm up.
I like the cashews ones because they are crunchier (the cashews were not as finely ground as the flours), I like the almond ones with coconut mmmmm, and the peanut butter ones are just so … peanut buttery!
The key is to keep them in the freezer so you aren’t staring at them all day

That is a great pic! Wow!
These bites look right up my alley
I love having treats waiting for me in the freezer in little portions…it helps me not overindulge!

Oh my gosh, I have a feeling I would absolutely love these! I usually have several batches of “fudge” in the freezer–aka cocoa powder, banana and peanut butter mashed together and frozen–and these balls would be a tasty change.

Your version sounds good! I was trying to think of a non-nut version, so I think that would be yours! Yum!
Ooo, I wonder what would happen if you used coconut flour instead of almond in your recipe to make them nut-free? Now that I need to try–I still have so much coconut flour that I really don’t know what to do with (I’m not a huge fan of it–but as the base for a frozen treat? That might change my mind).

Wow, hope your husband stays safe – wildfires are so crazy!
And those bites look insulin worthy!

haha thanks Biz. Luckily they keep him away from any real danger. But, the area he was in last night is being evacuated today because the fire spread!!
Crazy fire, you are right unheard of here in the Midwest. I am going to give this recipe a try this weekend!

We’ve been watching the fire coverage on tv and it’s so sad. Your frown snacks sound good I have made some treats like this for my friend who is gluten free and they are so good.

Thanks Tami, it is sad
We are hoping for rain! Although, I don’t think that is going to happen anytime soon. They say it probably will not be under control until winter gets here ….
mmmm… these would be good on top of my brownie with ice cream!

Thanks, Marina, I appreciate the feedback! They are a perfect little bite sized snack for hot days!
Hope that wildfire will be stopped soon. Nice shot. Congrats to your hubby.
