I hardly ever make dessert! I just don’t have a sweet tooth anymore. Ever since I cut sugar I hardly ever miss it! When I do, I have a high quality dark chocolate and that usually does the trick!
My kids are another thing! Let’s face it sometimes my kids want sugar! I’ve come a long way in reducing my family’s sugar intake. This recipe seems to curb the “Why don’t you ever buy cookies anymore!” disagreements!
I make these with any type of butter I have. I’ll use peanut, almond, sunflower or cashew but cashew is my personal favourite! The taste of the raw chocolate and cashew butter with the coconut makes these a super sinful bite in my mind!
Seeds are tiny but they are packed with nutrients like protein, fibre, iron, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. You should make these seeds part of your everyday diet. If you want to know how I started my family eating real food subscribe to my newsletter and get recipes, motivation and inspiration to eat healthy too!
This recipe takes no time at all to make! Come back and let me know how you love it! I know it will become a favourite like it is for my family!
- ½ cup oatmeal
- ⅛ cup raw cocoa
- ⅛ cup hemp seeds
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ½ cup cashew butter
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Coconut to roll the bites!
- Combine the oatmeal, cocoa, hemp seeds, coconut, flax and chia seeds well. Combine the cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla in the same bowl and mix all ingredients well.
- Take a spoonful of the mixture and roll in your hand.
- Roll bites in a bowl of coconut.
- Place bites on a cookie sheet and leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set! Keep in the fridge in a container.
- Enjoy these sinful bites!
About Sandra
Oh, these look simply delicious! I’m adding some ingredients to my shopping list 🙂
They are lovely! I bet you can’t eat just one! Just use the type of nut butter you love the most!
I love these little bites. I have been seeing different versions popping up all over the place. My only thing is that, yes they are perfectly portioned, but I think I would have a hard time stopping at just one or two!
Yes, this is my version with the ingredients I love. I love that there is no baking! I didn’t say I could stop at one or two Lol!
G’day! Sinfully delicious!
View as part of Let’s Get Real Party!
Cheers! Joanne
Thanks Joanne for stopping by! Try it! It’s super easy!
Hi Sandra! I’m stopping over from Let’s Get Real. You know I just had to check these out. I love all of these modern day versions of no-bake cookies. They are so delicous and filled with all kinds of great ingredients that I am more than happy to feed my family. I have everything to make these except the hemp seeds. Do you buy them at the grocery store or a specialty store? I buy from an organic co-op and they have a vegan baker who makes these really delicious hemp seed energy bars. My kids love them. I don’t tell them they are “Vegan”. Why put a label on food? Just eat good delicious real food I say.
I never tell my kids that something is good for them! Lol! That’s a sure way to have them avoid it:)
These look delicious! You can’t go wrong with chocolate, nut butter and coconut! Thanks for sharing them with the Let’s Get Real party. I’m pinning this to our group board and tweeting.
Thank you so much Gaye!
Sandra-
OMG- these are so delish. I made them this morning with the ingredients I had on hand (almond butter instead of cashew butter) and so easy to make.
Thank you for sharing this- and allowing me to get my chocolate fix in one -or two- sinful bites!!
Thank you so much Janet! Watch out, they are highly addictive:)
