Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Sunflower butter (sub with peanut butter)
- 1/2 cup Honey or Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups Oat flour
- 1 cup Blanched Almond flour
- 2 cups Chocolate chips (reserve 1 cup for melting)
Instructions
- Begin by lining a small tray or plate with parchment paper. Make sure that you’ll be able to fit this tray/plate in your freezer. Set aside.
- Add the sunflower butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt into a bowl, whisk well.
- Sprinkle in the oat flour and almond flour. Using a spatula, fold the flour into the wet mixture until combined. You may have to use your hands to fully mix the dough. Finally, pour in the chocolate chips and mix to combine. Again, you may have to use your hands!!
- Dump the dough out onto a clean surface (either your counter or a cutting board) and roll out into a square-shaped log. Using a knife, cut the dough in half and then quarters, both lengthwise and crosswise. You should have 16 sections of dough once you’re done. Take one section, roll it into a ball, and place on the prepared sheet pan. Continue this process until all the bites are rolled.
- Next, add the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl or ramekin and pop in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir the chocolate. Repeat this process two more times until the chocolate is melted and silky smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick, add ½ tsp of coconut oil to thin it out. Optionally, you can melt the chocolate over a double boiler as well.
- Using a pair of forks, carefully dip one of the cookie dough bites into the melted chocolate, gently rolling the ball to coat it thoroughly in the chocolate. Lift the cookie dough bite out of the chocolate, let the excess chocolate drip off, and place it back on the parchment lined tray. Repeat with the rest of the bites. Sprinkle a bite of flaky salt on top of each bite for presentation.
- Pop the tray of cookie dough bites in the fridge for 30 minutes, or freezer for 15 minutes, until the chocolate has completely set. From here, you can transfer the bites into a glass container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
