Healthy Chocolate Cherry Cookie Dough Balls are quick and easy with no baking necessary. A healthy and satisfying vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free treat.
I am obsessed with these right now! Because after dinner I always crave dessert. And this definitely satisfies that craving. They taste just like cookie dough and I love the dark chocolate and cherry bits within. So satisfying and delicious, but also healthier than most. Made with almond flour, coconut oil, and sweetened with maple syrup. And since it’s the month of Valentine’s Day, I think chocolate and cherry are the perfect combinations.
