Cookie Dough Rawnola (Vegan+GF)

Ever feel an overwhelming need for cookie dough when you know you want to eat healthy? This is my favorite solution to that problem. It's still a little bit indulgent but super healthy!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 6 - 8 servings (About 2 cups)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoon Antioxidant seed blend or replace with chia seeds (See note)
  • 1/4 cup shelled hemp hearts
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup of the oats with the seeds in a food processor (or blender if that's all you have) and pulse a few times. Add the dates, syrup, and vanilla and pulse a few more times until the dates are pretty well ground. Add the remaining cup of oats and pulse a few more times. Stir in cacao nibs and enjoy.
  2. Store in an air-tight container at room temp or in fridge.

Recipe Notes

You can replace the cacao nibs with mini dairy-free chocolate chips for a more cookie dough-like experience.

The seed blend I used is this one Barlean's Antioxidant Blend- Flax, Coconut, Acerola, Acai, and Camu Camu but you can feel free to replace the seeds with chia seeds, flax seeds, or any kind you'd like.
