No Bake Cookie Dough Balls Ingredients
Oats: Oats are so powerful. They contain soluble fiber, which basically dissolves in the stomach to form a gel-like material. It pulls everything through the digestive system! That’s why it’s great for us!
Protein powder or collagen: Protein powder and collagen are a must have in my pantry. If I can add an extra dose of protein, I am adding it! It helps keep you full & adds extra nutrition, especially if you’re going to pop these babies after a workout!
Cinnamon: Cinnamon has blood thinning, anti-fungicidal and anti-tumor activities. Plus, it tastes amazing!
My Favorite Protein Powders and Collagen Powders
Nuzest
It’s probably one of the best vegan protein powders on the market. The macros are incredible & the ingredients are clean! Perfect for if you have digestive issues. It has a higher price point, but that’s reflected in the product itself. Just use the code JAZZ when checking out, it’ll give you a good discount!
Purely Inspired Protein Powder
It’s an organic protein powder, filled with additional fiber and greens & made with no sugar alcohols. It comes with a lower price point! Great for if you’re looking for a plant-based, gluten-free protein powder in chocolate or vanilla!
Purely Inspired Collagen Peptides
Collagen is filled with protein. As we get older, our bodies stop producing as much collagen. And we need it! It’s great for keeping our joints and bones strong. And it’s also great for our hair, skin and nails. It doesn’t taste like anything, so you can add it to your coffee, lattes, oatmeal, or pancakes!
How to Make No-Bake Cookie Dough Balls
Add everything into a food processor, blender or alternatively in a big bowl. Using a food processor/blender will make it a bit easier to mix but may create less of a bite/chew!
Mix for 30 seconds until a sticky mixture forms.
Roll into 1-inch balls & pop these in the fridge to set for 30 minutes!
Storage
To keep your no-bake cookie dough bliss balls fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you want to extend their shelf life, you can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container or ziploc bag. Consider individually wrapping the balls for easy grab-and-go snacking. Enjoy within the recommended storage time for the best taste and texture.

These cookie dough balls are made with oats to provide a chewy texture and added fiber. If you prefer, you can try substituting oat flour for regular flour, but it may alter the final product's texture. Just make sure the flour is heat treated before using it (since we are not baking these).
-
Yes, these raw cookie dough balls are safe to eat raw because the raw dough does not contain any harmful bacteria from raw eggs or raw flour like regular cookie dough.
-
These cookie dough balls are meant to be enjoyed raw, but if you prefer a baked version, you can try to roll dough into bite-sized balls and baking them on a baking sheet at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes. It's a good idea to keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.

For best results, store balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help keep the little bites fresh and prevent them from drying out. If you want to extend their shelf life, you can also keep them frozen in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Just make sure to individually wrap the balls for easy grab-and-go snacking.
-
Since these cookie dough balls are meant to be enjoyed raw, there is no need to worry about them being “done” like traditional baked cookies. However, you'll know that the little cookie dough bites are ready to eat when they have been set in the fridge for about 30 minutes and are firm enough to hold their shape when rolled into balls. They should have a slightly firm and chewy texture.
