The other day I had walnuts soaking overnight for a raw “tuna” salad but the next morning I just wasn’t in the mood. I wanted something sweet. I scanned through my pantry, trying to figure out what ingredients I could throw together to get my sweet fix and ta da! the No Bake Cookie Bites were born.
No Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bites
gluten-free, sugar-free, and soy-free
makes 12
1 cup soaked walnuts
1/2 cup dates
1/2 cup oats, 1/2 ground together (use gf oats to make the cookies gluten-free)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp raisins
In a food processor mix together dates, walnuts, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla until it is a fairly smooth paste. Add 1/4 cup oats and blend into the mixture. Remove dough from food processor and place in a medium sized bowl. Fold in the remaining oats and raisins.
Scoop dough into 2 Tbsp sized pieces and roll into balls. Allow cookie bites to set up in the refrigerator for an hour. Store in fridge.
Enjoy!
I’ll be experimenting with a lot of flavor combinations. These cookies are so easy, good, and healthy! Next up…Peanut Butter Cookie Bites.

these look delicious! oatmeal raisin was always my favorite cookie. i’ll have to try your raw version for sure!
Thanks! You should try. I would love to hear what you think.
These are so good! I have made them several times recently. I modified my second batch to include protein powder (vanilla flavor) in place of the 1/4 cup oats blended into the paste to give a better protein:carb ratio. It was just as good. I have also made an almond joy version by replacing the walnuts with almonds and raisins with coconut and adding cocoa powder. This is such a great recipe as is and also easy to experiment with. Thank you for a great addition to my ever expanding recipe collection!
You have some great flavors there! I will def. be trying that almond joy version!
