These no-bake Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Bites are filled with healthy ingredient like oat flour, collagen peptides, almond butter, maple syrup and dark chocolate. They’re easy to make and so delicious!
I’ve always been someone that craves a little something sweet after dinner, and probably always will be! So anytime I can make something that satisfies my sweet tooth but is secretly packed with nutrients, it feels like a win-win situation.
These Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Bites are one of those treats! They’re balanced with fibre, complex carbs, protein and healthy fats, but taste decadent and are packed with chunks of dark chocolate.
I’ve also snuck in one of my favourite supplements, collagen peptides, for a boost of protein and all those skin, nail and hair benefits.

Ingredient notes
- Oat flour: oat flour makes the base of these bites. You can easily make oat flour at home by grinding rolled oats into a fine powder, but you can also purchase it already ground. Although I haven’t tested it, almond flour would likely work as a substitute. Because it absorbs less liquid than oat flour, I suggest starting with less coconut oil (you can add some as needed to reach the right consistency).
- Collagen peptides: adds some extra nutrients and protein to the bites. Make sure that you’re using an unflavoured/unsweetened version.
- Almond butter: choose a creamy almond butter that’s been well-stirred. You could also use peanut butter or cashew butter. Looking for a nut-free version? Try these tahini cookie dough bites!
- Dark chocolate: for the chocolate chunks in the dough, as well as the chocolate drizzle. I prefer my treats not to be overly sweet, which is why I typically use a dark chocolate bar with 85% cacao, however anything over 70% works! You can also use mini chocolate chips in the dough if preferred.
- Maple syrup: for some sweetness.
- Coconut oil: helps to hold the bites together and smooth out the melted dark chocolate for the coating.
- Cinnamon: ground cinnamon adds some more warmth and flavour. I’m a huge cinnamon fan so usually add some extra!
- Vanilla extract: for that extra hint of flavour.
- Sea salt: a must in my opinion! You’ll need fine sea salt for the base and flaky sea salt for topping.
How to make cookie dough bites
