i'd rather be baking

This weekend we experienced temperatures in the three-digit range, and it wasn’t pretty. I was pretty much forced to make these. It was (and still is, really) way too hot to turn on the oven. You understand.

I’ve seen them floating around various healthy living blogs recently and, well, I couldn’t wait any longer. And I wasn’t sorry. Ryan and I are now pretty much addicted to these little beauties.

If you like chocolate chip cookie dough, please make these now. They are so yummy and guess what? Salmonella free! No raw eggs is always a bonus in my book.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
Love Veggies and Yoga

2/3 cup raw cashews
1/3 cup oats
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Blend oats and cashews in a food processor until finely ground. Add agave, maple syrup, and vanilla and pulse until it’s well blended and looks like cookie dough. Stir in chocolate chips. Form into by rounded teaspoons into balls – you might need to refrigerate the dough a bit first if it’s too sticky. Enjoy! I store mine in the freezer for easy munching.
