Raw, vegan, gluten-free chocolate chip cookie dough bars made with just a handful of healthy ingredients. These are perfect for a simple, sweet treat! I mean, who doesn’t like cookie dough?
If you don’t sneak a spoonful or two of cookie dough straight from the bowl when making a batch of cookies, you must have some serious will-power because I can’t resist. Nor do I want to because it’s just too darn good!
Sometimes I consider just baking half the cookie dough and eating the rest. Raw. I mean, I’m not using eggs, so we’re all good on that front.
I’m on to something, right? Edible cookie dough, made into cute little bars. I promise you’ll make these once and never look at cookie dough the same!
Now, let’s talk about the ingredients of these bars. I used a vanilla plant-based protein powder, almond flour, almond butter, coconut nectar, vanilla, and dairy-free chocolate chips. The vanilla protein powder adds a naturally sweet flavor and a nice little protein boost, which is always a plus for healthy desserts!
And who doesn’t love a gooey chocolate topping? That seals the deal with these bars!
