Paleo Raw Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites

Twisted Tuesday is a day late but worth it!

I love sweets!!!  I completely love anything that has chocolate and then add the word cookie dough and I am hooked!  Well when I saw the recipe below from Averie Cooks I was hooked, but knew it needed some changes...but very minor!

Paleo sort of Raw Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
2/3 c raw unsalted cashews
1/3 c oats 1/3 c almond flour

2 Tbsp ground flax seed
2 Tbsp Agave 
2 -3 Tbsp Maple Syrup (Omit and use Agave to preserve true Raw Status if you care)
1 Tsp PURE Vanilla Extract
1/4 c Chocolate Chips - Enjoy Life chocolate mini's work best! (or to preserve true raw status, take 2 Tbsp Raw Cocoa Powder and add 1 Tbsp Agave Honey/Maple Syrup, optional dash of pure vanilla extract, whisk and blend.  Spread into a thin layer on wax or parchment paper, freeze.  Take frozen chocolate off parchment and crumble the shreds into the mixture as your raw “chips”.)

Recipe Yields: Approximately 17 1 tsp. size Cookie Dough Balls

These are made right in your blender.  Combine the cashews and almond flour right in your blender until together you have a almond/cashew flour texture.  Add flax seed and blend.  Add remaining ingredients minus the chocolate chips and blend.  Fold in chocolate chips and roll dough into balls.  Store in refrigerator.

Enjoy, oh and from my standpoint...make a double batch!
