Healthy No Bake 'Nutella' Cookie Dough Breakfast Bites Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond flour (can sub for gluten free oat flour, if not strictly paleo)

1/4 cup coconut flour

2 T cocoa powder

1 scoop chocolate protein powder (optional)

pinch sea salt

1/4 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped

Granulated sweetener of choice*

1/2 cup homemade paleo 'nutella' (can sub for any nut or seed or soy nut butter)

1/4 cup maple syrup OR brown rice syrup (brown syrup is not paleo friendly)

Milk of choice**

1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour(s), protein powder (if using it), cocoa powder, salt, crumbled hazelnuts, granulated sweetener of choice and set aside.
2. Add your paleo friendly nutella and mix into the dry mixture- It should be incredibly crumbly. Add your maple syrup/brown rice syrup and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Using a tablespoon, add milk of choice until a thick batter is formed.. If batter is too thin, add an extra spoonful of flour. If it's too thick, add a dash more milk. If using chocolate chips too, add them in now
4. Using your hands, form into small balls and place on a large plate or cookie sheet. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

* Adjust accordingly- If you prefer a sweeter cookie dough bite, add 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener of choice.

** Adjust accordingly- Depending on what protein powder/coconut flour you use, you may need considerably more than you think!

These breakfast bites are best kept refrigerated, but taste amazing slightly thawed from the freezer. For a super fudgy bite, enjoy at room temperature.
