Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
If you’re always eating spoonfuls of cookie dough out of the bowl, these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites were made for you! Make these gluten-free and vegan cookie dough bites in just five minutes! This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill.
Happy Monday! If there’s anything that can kick your week off on the right foot, it’s these oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough bites. Because let’s be honest, if cookie dough can’t make you feel excited for the week…what can?!
I seriously can’t believe how easy and delicious these are. I’m now kicking myself for it taking me so long to come up with this recipe! I could’ve been eating cookie dough bites for YEARS.
Alas, they’re finally here and you can bet they’ll be a staple in my fridge for years to come. They’re that good. In fact, I’ve already made another **valentine** version of them for you that will be coming soon 😏. (Update: the red velvet cookie dough bites are just as good!)
But before we move onto the next version, let’s talk about oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bite goodness and how you can be devouring them in ten minutes. Or five technically, since you can definitely eat the dough before you’ve rolled them into balls.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites!
Cashew Butter: I like using cashew butter as opposed to almond butter or peanut butter because I find it has a delicious buttery flavor that’s perfect for a cookie dough flavor. However, you can definitely use whichever nut or seed butter your heart desires (or just whatever you’ve got on hand).
Maple Syrup: for some sweetness. I’m sure honey would also work, but the flavor is typically more noticeable than maple syrup. Use maple syrup to keep it vegan.
Vanilla Extract & Salt: both for delicious flavor!
Blanched Almond Flour: make sure to use blanched for the best results.
Gluten-Free Oats: I use Bob’s Red Mill blanched almond flour and oats. I can always count on them to be certified gluten-free and the highest quality.
Which type of oats should you use? I used a combo of rolled oats and quick cooking oats. Either will work here. Just remember that using rolled oats will give more texture and chew, while the quick cooking oats won’t be as noticeable texture-wise.
Of course, you can’t have oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough bites without chocolate chips! You can use mini chips like I did here, or opt for some chopped up dark chocolate chunks.
How to store oatmeal chocolate chip bites:
Refrigerator: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Freezer: store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.

I had a small jar of homemade vanilla bean cashew butter I wasn’t in love with so this was the perfect way to use it up. So yummy! Thanks for a super easy & delicious recipe!

Yay so thrilled to hear you’re enjoying them, Margaret! Thanks so much for your feedback :)
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond?
Hmm, if you did, you’d only want to use about 2 to 3 tablespoons because it’s much more absorbent than almond flour!
These are to die for! I could eat them all day long. I used half cashew butter and half mixed nut butter and the flavor is just incredible. The oats add just the right amount of texture too making them the perfect treat!

Thank you for the love Skylar!! So glad you’re loving them :)
You’re my hero. OHEMGEE I love these bites!

Thanks so much for the love Kayle!
These are amazing!!! I used organic unsalted chunky peanut butter (because that’s what I had but so delicious- like a PB cookie!), quick oats (I pulsed myself in my Vitamix), agave instead of maple syrup, and cocoa nibs instead of choc chips! I made bigger balls so it didn’t make as many…or maybe because I couldn’t stop eating the batter!! Thanks for a great recipe! I’m bringing some to work tomorrow for an energizing snack!

So glad you’re enjoying them, Virginia!! Glad all your subs worked out deliciously :)
Would it turn good if i bake them?
Not sure, the recipe wasn’t developed to be baked.
If I use agave, how much would I use? And does the almond flour need to be “blanched”?
Hi Barb, you can use an equal amount of agave as there is maple syrup. Because these balls aren’t baked, it’s not super important that the almond flour is blanched. Enjoy!
So good! I’m always craving something to go with my coffee in the morning and one or two of these does the trick! I used mini chocolate chips and agree that a combo of rolled oats and quick cooking oats work well. Also makes a great quick snack for work. So glad I found your recipe! Thanks!

So thrilled to hear you’re enjoying them, Sharon! Thanks so much for your kind words :)
THESE ARE AMAZING! I’d give them 10 stars if I could. I don’t love the texture of raw oatmeal, so I blend the oatmeal until it is a fine powder prior to adding to the mixture. So tasty! I also use whatever nut butters I have on hand: sunflower seed butter, almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, etc. I used honey one time as well, and they are great that way too! Needless to say, the recipe is very forgiving, and my friends and family love these every time!

Thanks SO much for your feedback, Steph! Love seeing your twists – so glad you enjoyed them all :)
Can I substitute regular gluten free flour instead of almond? We have a tree nut allergy in the house ( peanuts are fine) so I plan to use peanut butter.
Hi Laura, I don’t see why not, though I haven’t tried it, so no guarantees! Enjoy :)
look amazing, could i dunk them in chocolate ? i.e chocolate covered balls?
Yes absolutely!! I would thin out the chocolate with a tiny bit of coconut oil or cacao butter to make it easier to dip :) great idea!
I recently had to cut wheat out of my diet and was heartbroken because my mom’s famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe is a big part of the legacy she left behind. I was craving the cookie dough intensely one day and found your recipe online; I was blown away by how much it tastes like the real thing! Thank you so much for brightening my wheat-free horizon! I’ve been making them every week since then, the perfect thing to satisfy my sweet tooth in the afternoon.

This makes me SO happy to hear, Rachel! I know how upsetting it can be to cut out foods and subsequently, all of your nostalgic dishes made with them. I hope that you can find many other gluten-free recipes on my site to help satisfy your cravings. If you ever have a family recipe you’d like to be made gluten-free, feel free to reach out and I’ll see what I can do :D
Do you have a calorie count for one oat ball?
Hi Jen, just updated the post with nutritional info – you can see it at the bottom of the recipe card!
Can I use 1 cup of raw cashews instead and blend them?
For sure, you’ll just want to get them to a nice creamy butter before mixing with everything else since they help bind these balls together.
Ok I am obsessed with these. So easy to throw together when I need a quick dessert. YUM.

So glad you love them!!!
