Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bites {Raw, Vegan, Nut-Free, Gluten-Free}

September 17, 2014 By JJ 3 Comments

Raw, Vegan Oatmeal Cookie Bites

Oatmeal cookies were one of my favourite things growing up. Our go-to recipe was the one on the top of the rolled oat canister — not the current one or the one before that but the one that existed back in the 80s and to this day still lives on a cardboard cut-out in my mom’s recipe box. We always made them with raisins.

Those soft, chewy cookies were a special treat, but the best part of baking them was eating the raw dough straight from the bowl.

It’s been ages since I’ve made oatmeal cookies, surprisingly they’re one thing I’ve yet to put a mad-science twist on. But in the midst prepping a client recipe for a shoot recently an obviously untested method produced something so wrong for the dish, yet so very close to raw oatmeal cookie batter.

The resulting substance stuck, both to my fingers and in my head, and I simply had to make a proper recipe out of it. This is that — without the sticking to your fingers bit — making the most of every good part of raw cookie dough while keeping the raw flour, raw egg and copious amounts of refined sugar out of the equation.

Oh, and you can of course flatten the bites into ‘cookies’ and then you can sandwich them with frosting… but if you prefer to simply eat all the dough straight from the bowl I won’t tell if you don’t!

Raw Oatmeal Cookie Bites

The best part of making oatmeal cookies is eating the dough. These bites keep all the best bits with none of the raw flour and eggs, or copious amount of sugar. Now the challenge is to not eat them all in one go!

Makes 12 cookies or truffle bites

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 c rolled oats
  • 3 Tbsp cold vegan butter, or solid virgin coconut oil
  • ¼ c desiccated coconut
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • pinch cloves
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ c maple/rice syrup
  • 1 Tbsp water

METHOD

In a small processor, blitz half the oats to a coarse flour-like consistency. Add butter and pulse to fine crumbs.

Add spices, salt, coconut and remaining oats and pulse once or twice to combine. Add syrup and water and pulse until mixture begins to stick together.

Scrape onto a piece of baking paper and knead a few times, then shape into a log. Wrap and chill 20 mins.

Cut into 12 pieces and squeeze/roll into balls or flatten into cookies (fill cookies with Vegan Chocolate Buttercream to make cookie sandwiches, if you wish).

COOK’S NOTES

  • Mix-ins: stir through ¼ c sultanas / dried cranberries / choc chips or chopped nuts before shaping into a log.
  • If not vegan or dairy-free you are welcome to sub the vegan butter for butter and syrup for honey. If you’re gluten free make sure to use GF Oats.
  • Debbie Downer: omg oats aren’t raw how can you call this a raw recipe, I’m appalled and shall tell you so in the comments. JJ: because unbaked is a blah word and because back when raw food meant carrot sticks we called unbaked cookie dough raw, and because it’s my recipe. No cookie for you.

When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy o Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy of my go-to Half-Spelt, Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe 🍕 (the one I’ve been teasing for years), AND a new voiceover by little Ms Marmalade herself 👧🏼.
☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨.

The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing.

Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?

Your favourite almost 6yo is back again, and this time it’s cookies. They’re vegan and gluten-free but that’s beside the point really, they’ll be ready to bake in less time than it takes to preheat the oven, and gone the second they cool. For a peek into our VO ‘process’ 😆 hold out for the end 🔈 - the outtakes we’re too good to not include.

For those wondering what everything is:
- 2 c almond meal
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla 
- 1/2 c choc chips or chopped choc
- 180C/355F ~12 min
⚡️ Happy baking, kids! ⚡️

Basically 4 cups each chopped lemon, white sugar, water - and if there’s any interest in an actual recipe I’ll even do a post on le neglected blawg.

Hope this brings a bit of sunshine to your day ☀️🍋🥰 (let me know what your favourite part is - mine is ‘put it in the ooooveenn??’)~ xx JJ
Me: I should do some kind of 2021 wrap up reel as Me: I should do some kind of 2021 wrap up reel as my first post of the year, or maybe some celebratory New Years thing from the archives...

Also me: Look! I put stuff on toast, it was delicious, you should make it!

For those keeping score: a combo vaguely inspired by cilbir turkish eggs, but lazier and dairy free, and on toast 🤷🏼‍♀️. Homemade spelt sourdough, vegan (cashew) yoghurt, jammy (7min) eggs, chilli crisp, toasted sesame seeds, kosher salt, coffee. 

And for the visual but not literal people: 🍞🍦🥚🌶🍂☕️

...now I think this is where I ask you to share this post! And save it for later! And inquire what’s on your plate! Does that sound right?! Great! If you need me I’ll be eating toast (and playing today’s Wordle 😆) and shooting client videos 📹. Have a good one kids, stay safe. x~JJ.
