These are one of my favorite things in the world. They are healthy, easy, and taste EXACTLY like a ball of cookie dough. And who can disagree that a spoon of cookie dough is one of the best things on this planet?? I love that I can feel like I’m having a hunk of cookie dough when it’s actually a healthy treat.
Huge bonus: my kids love these. They call them treat balls, and they feel like they’re getting this really dessert-y treat even though it’s filled with oats, almond flour, and healthy fats. Such a win!
So, the details. Here’s what’s in these delicious little bites:
- Oats
- Almond flour
- Maple syrup
- Coconut oil
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Vanilla
- Peanut butter
It all goes down in the food processor – we start with the oats and pulse those for a bit. Then we add everything else, blend until combined and somewhat of a dough “ball” forms. Scoop with a cookie scoop, roll, and pop in the fridge!
I personally love microwaving these for 8-10 seconds before eating so they are just slightly warm, but that’s just my preference.
Enjoy!

Oh wow my mouth is drooling. These sound so amazing. I don’t want to be a party pooper but do you have any way to reduce sugar and still make them taste just as good? Can you make them without syrup?
I just tried this recipe and wow! all my kids were begging for more. Thank you!
These are yummy. How long do you think they last in the fridge?
Oh my gosh! I would totally love to eat these for breakfast too since they have rolled oats. Yum
Oh my god it looks delicious
