What can I use instead of coconut flour?
I find coconut flour lends to the best dough-like texture, but some other options are:
- sub coconut flour for plant-based vanilla protein powder
- do a combo of half coconut flour, half vanilla collagen powder
- use almond flour instead of coconut flour (although I find this makes the balls not hold together as well)
Can I use a different nut butter?
Yes! Just about any nut butter works in this recipe. I personally love using peanut butter
Can these cookie dough balls be made vegan?
Yes, simple swap in maple syrup instead of honey, and be sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips
Can I add other mix-ins?
Yes, these cookie dough balls are delicious with added chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, or any other candies. I also love making them even more decadent by rolling them in melted chocolate and allow to harden.
Can I double this recipe? How do I store them?
Yes, this recipe is extremely easy to double or triple! After the first time, I think you’ll find that you’ll want to š
Keep the cookie dough balls stored in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze very well, which will make them last even longer.
