No Bake Cookie Dough Bites in 10 Minutes

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 80ml maple syrup, 64g creamy almond butter, 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and completely emulsified. Note: You shouldn't see any oil streaks on the surface.
2. Add the 144g almond flour, 30g oat flour, and 0.5 tsp sea salt to the wet mixture.
3. Use a spatula to fold and press the dough together until a cohesive ball forms and no dry flour remains. Note: Pressing helps the flours absorb the fats more efficiently.
4. Fold in the 60g mini dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 20 equal rounds (about 1 inch each).
6. Roll each portion between your palms until the surface is smooth and spherical.
7. Place the bites on a parchment lined tray, ensuring they aren't touching.
8. Transfer the tray to the freezer and chill for 20 minutes to set the structure. Note: This allows the coconut oil to firm up, making them easy to handle. Rolling these is actually quite therapeutic. If the dough feels a bit too soft at first, don't panic! The almond flour takes a minute to fully hydrate. Once they hit the freezer, that coconut oil and almond butter work their magic to turn a soft paste into a firm, snackable delight.
