The cookie dough-like balls made with healthful whole ingredients bandwagon.
Not a bad place to be.
If you like double chocolate chip cookie dough and would like to be able to eat it more often that is.
These are a great, wholesome snack for kiddos and adults alike.
Double Chocolate Faux Dough Bites
Makes 16
8 oz no sugar added prunes
3 Tbsp walnuts
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tbsp dark chocolate chips, chopped
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp almond milk
Place prunes and walnuts in a food processor and chop finely. Add remaining ingredients, reserving almond milk until the end, and mix until a puree is formed (Note: your puree may be more like a pureed ball- that is fine). Add almond milk for moisture, if needed, and mix. Make sure that all ingredients are evenly combined.
Scoop ~2 Tbsp mixture out of the processor and roll in your hands to form a tight ball. Repeat with remaining mixture to form 15-16 balls. Cover and refrigerate for storage.

these were delicious and satisfied my sweet craving! thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI was hoping the cocoa powder and chocolate chips would mask the taste of the prunes but no such luck. These are really PRUNEY and not in a good way! My husband and I ate a few and threw the rest away. I think they'd be much better with dates instead of prunes if you don't mind the higher sugar content.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you didn't love them- everyone else really has!
