Haha… funny story.

Yeah, I have a really funny story, actually. I’m sure you’re going to laugh. A lot.

So once upon a time, I wasn’t in an amazing mood, and wanted a certain delicious substance to help me through.

Which, by the way, is just a nice way of putting that I desperately needed to inhale a large quantity of peanut butter.

Hey, you know what they say. When life gets tough, the tought stick their spoons in their peanut butter jars.

Or something like that.

But you all know I am a civilized person, and I would never do something like eating out of a jar.

Ugh. Being civilized takes too much self-control. I have to get creative. So I say to myself,

Self, what is a civilized way to eat peanut butter straight?

And, naturally, cookie dough came to mind. Because what’s more civilized than shoveling raw cookie dough into you mouth?

Using my original cookie dough recipe, I made the most mouth-wateringly uncivilised way to eat cookie dough and peanut butter.

So as you eat your vat of peanut butter cookie dough for under 100 calories, being uncivilized quickly sinks down on the priority list.

Civilized? So last year.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls (Vegan, Gluten Free, Low Calorie)

This takes about 49 seconds to throw together. Totally worth the effort. 

With Better N Peanut Butter, there are only about 100 calorie in the entire recipe, but 150 if made with traditional peanut butter!

Makes about cookie dough 10 balls

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of peanut butter (I used Better N Peanut Butter, for a lower fat option. I bet peanut flour would work, but I’m not sure.)

3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice, divided

2 tablespoons of coconut flour

additional sweetener to taste, optional

Directions

Add peanut butter and 1 tablespoon into a small bowl or cup, and nuke for about 30 seconds, or until peanut butter is melted. Give the mixture a stir, and add in coconut flour. Add remaining almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, adding more or less as needed to create the perfect “doughy” consistency. Roll into balls and freeze, if desired, or enjoy as is!

See, hasn’t your mood improved, too?

Enjoy!

  3. Well I am a totally uncivilized person. I eat out of the nut butter jar EVERY SINGLE DAY. I hope I can make these with peanut flour! Then maybe I can be a civilized person too! Otherwise I'll just use real peanut butter... and try my best not to shove it straight into my mouth!!

  8. Perfect snack idea.....cannot wait to try these....I'm tempted to stuff a couple of dark chocolate chips in each one....peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough.......but I'll try it this way first.... have you actually tried it with peanut flour??? do you think I can use other nut butters??/

    • Dark chocolate pb bites? Love the way you think!I have not actually tried this with peanut flour, but I mention it because I thought it SHOULD work, although I can not personally vouch for the results. I imagine other nut butter should work out fine too. Hope this helps!

    • I am sorry for the inconvenience, Venetia! I have to enter all the recipes in manually, so I'm working on going through my older recipes (my newer recipes have both a save and print button).

  12. Hi Kelly (: love your recipes and can't wait to try this one. Just wondering, if it's more calories if I replace the coconut flour with whole wheat flour? If so, would I also have to use more... I'm debating getting whole wheat flour or coconut flour & I can't decide! Help?! I noticed you cook most of your recipes with coconut flour and I've seen you mention before that you love it, right now I only have all purpose flour so anything would be better!

    • Hi Vanessa! Yes, whole wheat flour is more calories and, as far as I know, you can't sub other flours in for coconut flour anyway. Hope this helps!

    • I would say sorry but what's there to be sorry about ;) This is a safe place for cookie dough lovers! No shame necessary because an entire batch is 100 calories-the best bang for your buck in the 100 calorie snack department if ya ask me.

  17. I made this as soon as I read the recipe at 5AM this morning. I used peanut flour, and cashew milk. It took a little more than the 3 TBSP of milk using the flour. I started to roll it into balls and ate the first one. I decided to forgo that part and just eat it with a spoon, calling it breakfast. I ate it all. No, I am not ashamed. It was delish. :D

    • I couldn't think of a better breakfast option myself, Holly! Who cares about rolling them into balls; that's just for presentation-and it's difficult to present these balls to anyone without diving into the bowl first(not speaking from experience or anything...heh). Next time, if you're feeling dangerous, you could even try topping your cookie dough with more cookie dough...https://www.foodiefiasco.com/healthy-cookie-dough-bites-for-breakfast/!

  19. Hi Kelly, These look DIVINE, thanks so much for sharing! Stupid question, but have you ever tried baking these? How do you think they'd go? Also, do you think it would work if I added some protein powder? (Ok, three stupid questions, haha!) Please keep the wonderful recipes coming, I'm stockpiling them! :D Thanks again. Kindest regards, Stephanie :)
