Yes. You read that right. This is a recipe for frozen cookie dough bites that happen to be free of all refined flours. And Oh. Em. to the Gee! They are deeeeelish!
Like this recipe and this recipe, they way I keep them free of refined flours is by using almond butter as the base. Almond butter is loaded with healthy fats and proteins and has a surprising ability to create a dough (just like this!).
I also like to add few tablespoons of coconut flour, because it is very absorbent and helps to thicken things up so we have that perfect cookie dough consistency.
They are super rich and decadent, so I find one with a cup of coffee is the perfect way to meet a sweet tooth whenever it comes knocking. Plus! My kids love them too, so they’re family friendly (which is always a #winwin!).

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup creamy roasted almond butter room temperature
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2-4 tbsp. coconut flour see notes below
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 + 1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine; almond butter, honey, 2 tbsp. coconut flour, vanilla extract, sea salt, and 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Mix until everything is well combined and you have a cookie dough consistency.
- If the dough seems too loose, add in another tablespoon of coconut flour or two. Work slowly until you have the right consistency. You want it to be soft but firm enough to roll a ball. If its too firm, they will be rock hard once frozen, so we want to find that middle ground.
- Roll about a heaping tablespoon of the dough between your palms to form a ball and drop on the sheet pan. Continue until you have 9 balls.
- Pop the tray into the freezer for four hours or until frozen through.
- Once the cookie dough bites are frozen melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler. Roll each cookie dough bite in the chocolate until its fully coated and gently remove, letting the excess chocolate drip off, and place back on the tray. Repeat until you have all 9 cookie dough bites coated in chocolate.
- Place the tray back in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the outer chocolate layer as set up and is frozen through.

Dani, you made my day! I LOVE Reese’s PB Cups, but wanted a healthier version. There have been many recipes similar to your Frozen Cookie Dough Bites, but were too complex – too many ingredients and too long a time. For me, I want SIMPLE and FAST. I found just that in your Bites, so my search is over! LOVE them, thank you!
Dani says
Yay!! So happy to hear that Sue. My family and I can’t get enough of these!

These are so delicious! I did use maple syrup instead of the honey, and I also cut a little out. But they are soooo good!

Hi Dani.
Can I use your Almond Butter recipe to replace the organic creamy roasted almond butter you recommended for this recipe?
Dani says
sure!! That works.
Barb says
The video states 1/2 cup almond butter but the written recipe states 1/4 cup. Which is correct?
Also, the written recipe doesn’t note the coconut oil.
Thanks!
Dani says
Sorry about that! I just updated it. This is the one I like – > https://amzn.to/2uEBYQn (I also LOVE Frank’s).

Hi Dani! I have such a sweet tooth that finding clean and healthy desserts that can give me my sugar fix is such a struggle, then I found this. Easy to find ingredients, quick and easy to make and oh-so-yummy!! My first recipe of yours to try and I have a few more lined up for this weekend.
I have been meaning to start eating healthy but never really got around to it out of convenience (or inconvenience), my sweet tooth has always been my excuse and biggest weakness. Then I discovered your recipes on youtube. You make simple, yummy and “doable” dessert recipes that that’s where I have decided to start – by cutting out refined sugars from my diet because I have your clean and delicious recipes to keep my sweet tooth happy!
Thank you and looking forward to more recipes!
Wishing you the best!
Dani says

Would using peanut butter work just as well?
Dani says
yep!

“2-4 tbsp. coconut flour see notes below” is listed in the ingredients however there is no note below about .the cocnut flour.
Connie M Norris says
I would really like to make these but there are problems / omissions in the recipe.
There is no video with this recipe although one is referenced in the comments.
Where are the “notes below” about the coconut flour?
Is the almond butter 1/4 or 1/2 cup?
Should there be coconut oil in the ingredients?
The link you provide to the almond butter you like goes to WING TIME SAUCE WING BUFFALO MILD on Amazon. https://amzn.to/2uEBYQn

Just recently got hooked on your channel on YouTube and now your website, really have been enjoying a lot of your recipes between your baking, cooking & non-baked goods. In your frozen cookie dough bites can I substitute the coconut flour for all purpose flour as coconut is hard to come by where I live?
Dani Spies says
I haven’t tried it myself but i’m pretty sure it would work. If you give this a try, let me know how it works!
