Remember eating raw cookie dough as a kid and—OK, let's be honest—maybe even as an adult, too? I'm sure we've all been there. I mean, who doesn't love cookie dough?
If you're trying to live a healthy lifestyle, cookie dough probably doesn't have a place in your diet, and that's a bummer! With my superfood swaps, I've whipped up a superfood cookie dough recipe that will have you wondering how in the world you're eating something healthy!
This cookie dough is great for anyone with a sweet tooth who just can't seem to kick their love for store-bought cookie dough, or really for anyone who just likes to enjoy a sweet treat.
Now you can have your cookie dough and eat it too! The oat flour and flaxseeds provide a hefty dose of fiber while the flaxseeds also add a superfood punch without disrupting the amazing flavor. With molasses, a pinch of sea salt, and pure vanilla extract, your taste buds won't know the difference between the version you love and this healthy alternative.
This is an easy, bake-free recipe that anyone can make and is even kid-approved! The best thing about this recipe is that it takes only 10 minutes to put together. Make this recipe ahead of time and have it to enjoy as a go-to snack for the week.
