Almond Pulp Cookie Dough Bites (vegan + paleo friendly)

SPONSORED BY NATURAL DELIGHTS


Look, I’m not out here always making my own homemade almond milk even thought I know it’s better and healthier and honestly really easy. BUT! When I do it’s always so that I have an excuse to make these Almond Pulp Cookie Dough Bites.

They are full of good for you stuff and naturally sweetened and very much anytime-of-day snack apropos. But the moment when dishes are done, netflix is on, couch is cozy, a couple of these are in hand – that’s my favorite way to eat them. And I want you to experience this delish little pre-bed cookie dough moment too.

How To Make Almond Pulp Cookie Dough

This is one of those gloriously simple blend > scoop > chill > EAT kind of recipes that you really can’t mess up. There’s lots of room for customizing too, every batch I make turns out a little different depending on what’s in the pantry. So let’s discuss the ingredients and swapping opportunities…

Our Wholesome + Yummy Ingredient List

  • Almond pulp. Or cashew/coconut/hazelnut/walnut/whatever kind of funky fancy nut milk you’re making over there pulp. It’s a unique combination of wet and dry, which makes this recipe a bit different than your typical no-bake ball.
  • Medjool dates. This is where things get sweet and sticky and really darn delicious. Natural Delights is always making my snack life better, and their medjool dates especially shine in no-bake recipes like this. They are the only sweetener we need for these cookie dough bites, which makes them healthier and very back-to-school snack friendly too!
  • Shredded coconut. The unsweetened variety although the touch of natural sweetness it brings is yummy even still. If you don’t like coconut, swap for your favorite nuts or more hemp seeds
  • Hemp seeds. The flavor of hemp in bars and balls is one of my favorites, I always add them into this recipe. But pumpkin seeds or sunflower would work too.
  • Oats. Rolled or quick cooking, they help offset all that moisture in the almond pulp and add great texture too. Similar to the coconut, this can be substituted with your favorite nuts (cashews are great here!)
  • Chia seeds. I don’t recommend swapping these out, they help bind the balls together a bit more than the dates alone would.
  • Almond butter. Or any nut or seed butter you have on hand, I make them with tahini a lot too.
  • Vanilla and salt. You could add cinnamon or other spices and flavorings here too.
  • Chocolate chips. The mini ones work best, or cacao nibs are a great alternative – less sweet but I love the CRUNCH they add. Or even try a mix of the two.

Tips For The Best Cookie Dough Bites

  1. Add ingredients in the proper order. As listed in the directions, you want to blend all the “wet” ingredients first and then add the dry. If you add everything at once, the dough will turn out too chunky with un-blended bits.
  2. Use a cookie scoop to shape them. This will save you a LOT of time over scooping and rolling by hand and make for more uniform bites too. The one I have is linked in the recipe.
  3. Use fresh almond pulp. The fresher the better, within a day or two of making your milk ideally. Almond pulp does go bad, so older pulp will make your bites go bad faster even in the fridge.
  4. Don’t be shy with the chocolate chips. This is kind of an always tip though.

    Love these photos, these ingredients and that blue bowl! I do have quite a few almonds in my freezer that have been hanging out for quite a while and these seem like the tastiest way to use them! Gotta keep the fridge and freezer stashed with healthy, chocolate-studded treats!

    What is almond pulp?
    The recipe sounds delicious.
    I’m from the USA so I’m not familiar with the term.

      Its the leftover almond solids after you make your own almond milk! Sorry I should’ve explained that. If you don’t have a blender/nut milk bag to make your own milk or an almond cow machine you could try just using almond flour and adding applesauce for extra moisture in this recipe!

      The coconut pulp I’m assuming? Yes that should work, perhaps swap the coconut shreds in the recipe for nuts of some sort 🙂

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
