INGREDIENT NOTES
The few ingredients in this recipe work together to create the perfectly doughy textures and subtly tangy flavors in these cookie dough bites. It is important to make sure you are using the right ingredients because there aren’t many of them in this recipe! Here are some things to take note of before using your ingredients!
- Oat Flour: making your own oat flour is super easy and a lot more affordable than buying pre-made oat flour (to make oat flour, just blend oats in a blender until they resemble a fine, flour-like consistency)
- Almond Butter: make sure to use natural and creamy almond butter, not almond butter with added sweeteners or ingredients (making your own natural almond butter is super simple and only requires 2 ingredients!)
- Maple Syrup: make sure to get 100% pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup
- Lemon Juice: make sure the lemon juice is 100% natural, without any sweeteners or added ingredients
