I’ve been eye-ing these “do bites” at Whole Foods for years. Every time I wanted to bring them home I got overwhelmed with choice (which flavor, with or without chocolate chips, or sprinkles?) and gave up.
Also the fact that we always have 10+ treats ready to go at home prevented me from splurging.
I recently committed to buying these at a time when the number of pre-existing treats at home dropped below a certain tolerable threshold so I did bring home the “sun better” do bites home.
It was love at first bite. A perfect bite of chocolate covered cookie dough, and I LOVE sun butter.
So you guessed it, I had to reverse engineer it, so I can re-create it at home when and if such a snacking emergency presents itself.
These literally came together in minutes and were exactly the same as original, I had multiple taste testers ask me “so which one is yours?” and then they claimed they liked mine better!
So I’m dying to know what you all think!
Recipe inspired by my edible cookie dough recipe here.
Mini-batch Do Bites
Ingredients
Cookie dough
- 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g) I made them with peanut butter and sunbutter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (42 g)
- 1/3 cup oat flour (40 g) you could probably sub almond flour
- pinch of (optional) turbinado sugar for crunchy texture
- 1 tbsp (optional) chocolate chips or sprinkles (14 g)
Chocolate coating
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (45 g)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (5 g)
Instructions
- In a cereal bowl combine nut butter, maple syrup, oat flour, pinch of salt. Stir until smooth (using hands if necessary, it should come together but if it doesn't add a drop of water). If too wet, add a pinch more flour.
- (Optional) Add any mix-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles.
- Make balls between your palms and freeze on a sheet of parchment until solid.
- In a bowl melt chocolate and coconut oil stir until smooth (I use 30 sec increments in the microwave).
- Using two forks dip and coat each ball in the chocolate and let it set in the fridge or freezer.
- Enjoy and keep refrigerated!
Is there a way to sub the maple syrup for something not sweet? The addition (crucial!!) of chocolate is already sweet enough for me so I was thinking how I can make those without it.
you could try mashing banana, more nut butter, or coconut oil? let me know if you try one of these!
