Our go-to’s are these Monster Cookie Dough Bites that are made with no baking at all.

Ingredients You Will Need
These No Bake Monster Cookie Dough Bites are so easy and sooooo good. They’re much like the Oatmeal Raisin Bites I shared with you all last year. They were a huge hit all school year and even made it into my gym bag for a post workout snack.
Peanut butter, oats, honey, a bit of water, chocolate chips, M&M’s….you get the picture. Just like everyone’s favorite Monster Cookie but without baking…butter…eggs…sugar…you know, all those things that spike the blood sugar and make the belt just a little tighter. These cookie dough bites have all the flavor without making your pants tight.
How To Make Them
Stir together oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla and water to combine.
Fold in peanuts, chocolate chips and M&M’s.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet.
Chill until firm.
If you find your cookie dough balls are not holding together or the dough is still dry and crumbly, add 1 tablespoon water. Allow the dough to sit for 5-10 minutes before rolling for best results.
Because they’re so easy to make, I whipped up an extra batch to freeze for later….for those times when I only have a packet of string cheese and an apple.
