Who could resist cookie dough for breakfast? This one won’t make you feel guilty about it, as it’s packed with
Fiber Plant-based protein Nutrients
So let’s see how you can make a healthy no-bake cookie dough recipe in 10 minutes.
What’s Edible Cookie Dough?
It’s a no-bake cookie dough recipe made with ingredients that are safe to eat raw with no heat required. It tastes like regular oatmeal cookie dough, and it’s a fun snack when you crave cookies but don’t feel like baking. Although, most regular cookie dough recipes are not healthy. They are made with lots of brown sugar, butter, and all-purpose flour. As a result, they are high in carbs and poor in nutrients. So here I am sharing a healthier twist to the classic cookie dough recipe.
Is It Safe To Eat Raw Flour?
In fact, all-purpose flour must be heat treated for raw baking to remove any potential bacteria. That’s why this recipe uses almond flour, a safe flour to eat raw without any heat treatment.

Ingredients and Substitutions
To make this easy no-bake snack, you need the following ingredients:
Almond Flour – For a nut-free option, use oat flour or sesame seed flour. The dough is drier using oat flour, and you may need to add some extra liquid in the dough to balance – water or sweetener. Liquid Sweetener – You can use any liquid sweetener you love, like brown rice syrup, maple syrup, or sugar-free syrup. Peanut Butter or almond butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option that decreases saturated fat. Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – You can also use quick oats. Dark Chocolate Chips or any chocolate chips you like.

Flavoring Options
You can use this recipe to make a range of cookie dough flavors. For example, you can add some:
Dried raisins, grated carrots, chopped walnuts or pecans, and a pinch of cinnamon to make a carrot cake cookie dough. Vegan-colored candies to make a monster cookie dough. Swap the peanut butter for almond butter or chocolate nut butter to make a chocolate cookie dough.
Storage Instructions
Raw cookie dough must be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or bag. This is important, or the dough dries out. You can store this recipe in the fridge for up to 3 days. Also, cookie dough freezes very well for later. Thaw the recipe at room temperature the day before eating.
Allergy Swaps
Below I listed some options to adapt this recipe to any of your food allergies.
Gluten-free – replace rolled oats with quinoa flakes. Nut-free – swap almond flour for sesame seed flour, sunflower seed flour, or oat flour. Sugar-free – use Monk fruit liquid sweetener for healthy sugar-free cookie dough and use sugar-free chocolate chips.
