Jen's Cookie Dough Balls

These things are really delicious. Not just delicious with a caveat that they're all whole foods and gluten/dairy-free and full of good things and none bad (though all of that is true.)  They are just plain delicious.

This is the recipe from my nutrition coach's website. But I also copied the whole thing below with a couple notes on putting them together that I think make them extra good :)

Ingredients:

• 1 TB melted coconut oil
• 1 TB honey
• 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/4 cup nut butter (I used almond. YUM.)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• smidge of water to wetten the mixture
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Recipe:

• Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor and process the crap out of them until you have a nice doughy consistency. (Note that your food processor has to be pretty strong to do this, if it is wimpy like mine, see variation below.)
• Stir in chocolate chips or pulse them in with your food processor if you don't mind some of them getting chopped up (which is actually a good thing, I think.)
• Form into 10 little balls and try not to eat them all at once.

Recipe for wimpy food processors:

• Put oats into food processor and pulse until they are ground up somewhat (not a total floury powder but chopped into smaller pieces with some amount of floury-ness)
• Add coconut oil, honey, protein powder, vanilla, water to ground up oats and blend until everything is combined nicely.
• Stir in nut butter forcefully by hand while wishing you had a real food processor that could do this for you.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Form into 10 little balls and try not to eat them all at once.
