I came up with these raw cookie dough bites in a desperate attempt to satisfy my incurable sweet tooth.

On a normal weekday, I try to eat an even balance of sweet and savory meals. I’ve been trying my best to incorporate more leafy greens and whole fruits into my daily routine. But to be honest, I have such a big sweet tooth that I can’t go a day without dessert.

It’s been very important for me to not keep candy in the house. Any time I had processed snacks around, I simply couldn’t resist. I try my best to food prep a plant-based, wholesome dessert like these or my vegan chocolate chip cookie dough bites. That way, I never feel tempted to eat junk food.

I have to say, I love cookie dough more than anything. These taste similar to my almond butter rawnola but are a little sweeter thanks to a little maple syrup and a little richer thanks to a generous dose of almond butter. There’s nothing a cookie dough bite can’t solve!
