These Vegan Cookie Dough Bite are ready in only 5 minutes, and they're safe to eat even raw! Raw flour, raw egg, and white sugar are not required. These are also nut-free and gluten-free. They make the perfect treat for snacks, desserts, or school lunches!
You're in luck today if you prefer the raw cookie dough to the baked cookies. This recipe for vegan cookie dough is as tasty as the cookie dough you remember from your childhood. It's made with simple ingredients that can be found in your pantry.
What's the best part? Instead of heating the flour, we're using our favorite gluten-free wheat flour.
Ingredients you'll need + Substitutions
Maple Syrup: We like the caramel-like taste of maple syrup but you can use any liquid sweetener. Choose agave syrup, brown rice syrup or simple syrup.
Nut butter: You can use any nut or seed butter. Cashew butter or peanut butter can be used to make a neutral cookie dough. For a nut free version, you can use almond butter or macadamia butter. It is important to use a natural, creamy, runny nut or seed butter. This will give your cookie dough bits the moisture and creaminess they need to be soft and delicious.
Vanilla Extract:A splash vanilla enhances the sweetness of these cookie dough bites. If possible, use pure vanilla extract. It really does make a difference.
Water: Used for the vegan cookie dough. You may have to add more water or less, depending on the consistency of your nutbutter. You can replace the water in your cookie dough bites with your favorite plant milk if you want them to be even creamier.
Oat Flour: Many edible cookies dough recipes use heat-treated flour in order to kill bacteria. To avoid this, and to make these vegan cookie bites gluten free, we chose oat flour. You can substitute 1 1/2 cups of almond flour for oats flour if you are out. This recipe has not been tested with wheat flour or any other gluten-free alternative.
Chocolate We used vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips. However, vegan dark chocolate chips or vegan milk chocolate chips would also work. You can substitute any favorite chocolate chunks, or even a vegan chocolate bar chopped up.
Add-ons and Variations
If you want to spice up this vegan cookie dough, we have a few suggestions!
Add nuts Finely chop your favorite nuts such as almonds, pecans, or peanuts. Then fold them into the cookie dough.
Add spices If you want a spiced cookie that is warmer, add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pumpkin spice or your favorite cookies spices.
Dip in chocolate –Take these cookie dough bites and take them to the next step by dipping them in melted dark chocolate. Finish with your favorite sprinkles or nuts or other toppings.
Drizzle caramel - Serve these cookie dough bites along with a scoop or ice cream and drizzle with our homemade vegan, date, or peanut butter caramel!

How to make vegan cookie dough bites
Mix all the ingredients. Stir together maple syrup, nutbutter, vanilla extract and water in a large mixing bowl.
Add the oat meal. Add the oats flour to the same bowl and combine until well blended. Then, using clean hands "kneading" the dough until it is well incorporated. Add additional oats flour, 1/2 teaspoon at atime, if the dough is too wet.
Add the vegan chocolate chips. Mix the chocolate chips into the vegan cookie batter with your hands.
Scoop into bite-sized vegan cookie dough. Use a 1-tablespoon cookie spoon to scoop vegan cookie dough and form bite-sized balls. Continue making balls until all the dough is used - we made about 8 balls.
Enjoy! Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
These cookie dough balls are a great snack for an afternoon pick-me up or a vegan dessert.
They are delicious with non-dairy drinks like Homemade Almond Milk, or vegan ice creams like Raw Chocolate and Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream. They can be used as a homemade topper for Vegan Frozen Yogurt.
Storage Instructions
The cookie dough bites can be stored in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container.
These cookie dough balls may also be frozen if desired. Spread the cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and then freeze the tray for an hour or until the vegan cookies are solid. Once they are frozen, you can transfer them into a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to one month.
Enjoy! Defrost the frozen cookie dough by putting it in the fridge until it becomes soft.
Recipe FAQs
Can oats be eaten in their raw form?
Absolutely! Raw oats or oat flour is safe. You might also like these Almond Pulp Brownie Balls or our Vegan S'mores Granola Bars if you're looking for more no-bake desserts that use oats.
What is oat flour?
Oat flour can be made by blending the oats to a fine consistency, similar to flour. It's easy to make oat powder at home using a food processor or high-speed blender. Place the rolled-oats into a blender and blend for 30-60 second or until you get a fine uniform flour. Check out this post for a step by step guide: How to make Oat Flour.
Can vegans eat semi-sweet chocolate chips?
It depends. Each brand of chocolate chip is made using slightly different ingredients. Some chocolate chips may be vegan friendly, while others will not. Enjoy Life is a great vegan chocolate chip product. If you're looking for a vegan chocolate chip brand, we recommend Enjoy Life. Cocoa butter is vegan by nature.
Can I bake cookie dough bites?
This edible cookie dough was tested baked, but the cookies were too thick and dry. We recommend that you make one of our most popular baked cookie recipes, such as the Classic Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie, Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie, Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie, or Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein cookies.

These Vegan Cookie Dough Bite are ready in only 5 minutes, and they're safe to eat even raw! Raw flour, raw egg, and white sugar are not required. These are also nut-free and gluten-free. They make the perfect treat for snacks, desserts, or school lunches!
Ingredients
1/4 cup liquid maple syrup or sweetener your choice
1/4 cup Nut or Seed Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon water
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup oat flour (see notes)
1 1/2 teaspoons vegan choc chips
Instructions
Add the maple syrup, nut butter or seed butters, vanilla extract, optional salt, and water to a large mixing bowl. Stir everything together until it is uniform.
Mix in the oats flour until combined. Using clean hands, "knead", the dough to ensure that it is fully incorporated. Using your hands has been proven to be essential! Add more oats flour by 1/2 teaspoons at a time if the dough is too wet.
Mix the vegan chocolate chips with your hands.
Use a cookie scooper of 1 tablespoon size (or even a regular teaspoon or your hands) to scoop out some dough and roll into a ball. Continue rolling out the dough until it is all rolled out. We formed 8 balls. Enjoy!
These are best eaten the same day as they dry out if left in the fridge.
Notes
You can make oat powder if you have rolled oatmeal on hand. Place 1 cup of rolled oats in a high speed blender and blend until fine.
Use 1 1/2 cups almond flour in place of the oats flour.
The flavor of the cookie dough will be affected by the nut butter or seed butter that is used. Cashew butter and peanut butter are our favorites, but you can use whatever you like!
You can use any liquid sweetness you prefer/have available.
You can use your favorite chocolate bar instead of dark chocolate chips if you don't own any.
Remember to salt the dough only if the butter is salted. After mixing, you can add salt if necessary.
Some nut butters are runnier than others. You may also need to adjust the amount of oat flour and water before adding chocolate chips. It should feel like cookie dough - not too moist or too dry!
These cookies were tested and, although they baked successfully, were very thick and dry. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and press down so that they are 1/2 inch thick. Bake at 350F for about 13-15 minutes. Serve them with almondmilk!
We haven't yet tried storing them in the freezer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some common plant-based foods?
Plant-based diets are gaining popularity because of their potential environmental and health benefits. Common plant-based diets are those that are made from plants. This includes fruits, vegetables as well as legumes and nuts. These foods contain essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The following are great sources of plant based protein: beans and pulses such as chickpeas or kidney beans; low-fat soya products, such as tempeh, edamame or edamame and high-fat dairy alternatives such as almond, coconut, or soy milk; vegan yogurt; soy patties; hemp powder; nutritional yeast flaflakes; whole wheat bread; whole wheat bread; whole grain cereals including oats and barley; flaxseed oils; and whole grain cereals You can also get healthy fats from plant sources like flaxseeds, olive oil, flaxseed or other nut oils. Many ready-to-eat meals can be found now, which can help reduce grocery costs. A plant-based diet is likely to be less expensive than other types of food, depending on how much you buy.
What can I eat instead of meat for protein?
Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet. You can find it in both animal and plant-based foods. Plant-based proteins include legumes (nuts and seeds), beans, lentils (wheat gluten), seitan (wheat flour), and hemp seeds. Eating more plants can also provide anti-inflammatory benefits due to the high antioxidants in many fruits and vegetables. Almond and oat milks are excellent alternatives to cow’s milk. Alternatives like pumpkin seeds and nutritional yeast can lend cheesy flavor to dishes while providing more micronutrients than their animal-based equivalents. You can also add extra nutrition to smoothies or shakes by using vegan protein powders.
Is a plant based diet the same thing as a vegan?
A plant-based diet can be very different from a vegan diet. A plant-based eating plan is one that focuses on whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. This eating style typically reduces or eliminates the consumption animal products like milk and meat. However, some small amounts may be permitted. On the other hand, veganism is an ethical lifestyle choice that involves following a completely plant-based diet and avoiding things like clothing or cosmetics made with animal products. Even though vegans may opt to follow a plantbased diet as part or their lifestyle, they are different concepts.
Can a plant-based diet lower the risk of chronic disease?
Due to its numerous health and environmental advantages, the plant-based diet has gained popularity in today's world. It involves eating mainly fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts, as well as reducing or eliminating animal proteins such meat or dairy products. The benefits of a plant-based lifestyle include better heart health, improved digestion, energy levels and reduced stress hormones. One can get enough protein on a plant-based diet by eating excellent alternative protein sources on a plant-based diet.
Statistics
In the United States, poor-quality diet is the most significant predictor of early death, according to an article published in the May 2017 Journal of Geriatric Cardiology. (everydayhealth.com)
In fact, according to research published in the going plant-based can cut grocery bills by $750 a year per person, Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition. (forksoverknives.com)
Preparing vegan meals from plants allows you to cook your meals quickly and efficiently. It takes planning and preparation but can help you save time and encourage healthier eating habits. It makes it easier to stick with your diet by prepping plant-based meals. They are already prepared and ready for when you want something delicious and healthy. You also have more time to do other activities, such as exercise and relaxation, since you don't need to make everything from scratch every day.
Successful plant-based meal prep is all about variety. Try selecting different ingredients each week with various colors for better nutrition - for example, spinach for greens, purple carrots for orange/reds and brown rice for complex carbohydrates. Each meal should aim to provide a balance between fiber, protein and fats depending on each person's individual needs.
Consider using a multi-cooker and slow cooker to maximize your meal prep efficiency.
With a few simple steps, meal prepping for a plant-based diet can be an easy and enjoyable experience. Create a grocery plan based upon the recipes you intend to prepare. If possible, shop at local farmers' markets or health food stores for fresh produce and other quality ingredients. Next, you need to make sure that you allow enough time to prepare your food. These alternatives mean less effort and maximum savings. Food stays fresher longer if it's stored properly.
Ultimately plant-based meal prepping enables one to eat well no matter how busy life gets. By taking the guesswork out of healthy eating, individuals will likely achieve their nutritional goals sooner rather than later.
