They make an ideal snack for when you\u2019re on the go as they are packed full of hearty, nutritional ingredients in such a small pack- age. My favourite ingredients are a combination of gooey medjool dates and rolled oats as together, they perfectly mimic the taste of cookie dough. For an extra indulgent taste, I added in chunks of high quality raw dark chocolate. The rich, bitter flavour works really well against the sweet cookie dough.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6836\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CookieDoughEnergyBalls_01.jpg\" alt=\"chocolate cookie dough energy balls recipe\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CookieDoughEnergyBalls_01.jpg 750w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/CookieDoughEnergyBalls_01-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">One of the best things about this Chocolate Cookie Dough Energy Balls recipe is that you can make them in batch, pop them in a large ma- son jar and keep in the fridge to grab whenever you\u2019re feeling hungry, or in need of an energy boost. There are also tonnes of flavour combinations to experiment with, using dates as a base then adding peanut butter, hazelnuts, almonds, freeze dried strawberries, superfood powders, for example. Add a scoop of plant based protein powder to turn them into protein balls, ideal post work out. Use gluten-free oats to guarantee that they&#8217;re ok so sensitive tums.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>These make 10 decent-sized balls.<\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>6\u00a0pitted medjool dates<\/li>\n<li>3\u20444 cup of oats<\/li>\n<li>1\u20444 cup\u00a0of dark chocolate chunks<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp\u00a0of almond butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Method<\/h4>\n<p>These chocolate chunk cookie dough balls are so simple to make by blending together the oats, almond butter and pitted dates in a food processor until the mix holds together in a ball. Add the chocolate chunks afterwards by kneading them into the mix, I simply chopped up half a bar for my favourite high quality, raw dark chocolate. I\u2019ve found that keeping the pieces fairly large gives the balls a nice chunky consistency against the gooey base, making them the perfectly nourishing sweet treat.<\/p>\n<h6><em>Megan Hallet runs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantbasedlondoner.com\/about-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Plant-Based Londoner<\/a> where you can find many more of her most amazing recipes.
