Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites are bite sized no-bake treats that come together in 10 minutes or less!
Y’all….it’s hot outside! And everyone is like, “thank you captain obvious.” Â But, really it is unusual to have 100 plus degree weather in Kansas in June. Â It isn’t unusual however for me to still want to whip up some sweet goodies in the month of June. Â I just can’t bring myself to heat up my oven, and if you can’t either, you’re in luck because I have some peanut buttery, portable, bite sized little snacks just for you.
If you read my other posts, you know by now that I am a naughty baker that can’t resist eating raw dough. Â So, these are really perfect for me. Â No eggs to worry about, no staring at the oven timer in anticipation. Â Don’t we all just really want the dough more than the cookie sometimes anyway?
Other things to love about these round babies. Â Packed with protein, gluten free option (oats), only one bowl to make a mess out of, kiddos love them and can help make them, oh yeah and they combine peanut butter and chocolate which everyone knows is the best thing ever.
A note on the coconut sugar, if you have it and enjoy using it then go ahead and throw it in. Â If you don’t have any, you can definitely use granulated. Â Or, you can completely leave the sugar out (what I do when I am coconut sugarless and sad) and they are just as delicious. Â Keep them stored in an airtight container for up to a week and enjoy whenever your peanut butter lovin’ heart desires.

Question: If I don’t have pure maple syrup, can something else be used?
