High-Protein Cookie Dough Bites | Vegan, Gluten-Free

High-Protein Cookie Dough Bites made with kidney beans. Healthy, vegan, gluten-free, oil-free and no-bake. The perfect post-workout snack!

High-Protein Cookie Dough Bites

Today, I have a delicious snack idea for you! These cookie dough bites are healthy, chocolate-y, gluten-free and refined sugar-free. They also contain a good amount of protein thanks to the kidney beans.

Yes, you read that right.

The first time I tried a sweet recipe calling for kidney beans, I didn’t know what to expect. But honestly, you can’t taste the beans at all.

A Great Healthy Snack

These high-protein cookie dough bites are meant to be a healthy snack, so I purposefully did not use refined sugar to sweeten them.

My mom, my siblings and I love them, but if you have a big sweet tooth like my dad, you may find them not sweet enough to your taste. If so, you could use more dates but you may need to use less milk or to add a little more oats to obtain a good texture.

We like to store them in the freezer because we find they taste even better when they are still half-frozen.

I hope you will enjoy these high-protein bites! They are:

• Not too sweet
• Rich in protein
• Perfect for a quick boost of energy
• Delicious

Have fun!
