Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Poppers
Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, high protein
There is nothing better than cookie dough when you crave a treat that reminds you of your childhood. Here is my healthy version of a classic cookie dough popper coated in a robe of silky, dark chocolate. High in fiber from oats and coconut flour, plus high in protein from nut butter, protein powder and plant-based milk. These yummy, simple treats are perfect grab-and-go, single-serve treats you can store in your freezer. This is a wonderful recipe for children to participate in making - and a guilt-free recipe for children of all ages to indulge in.

Instructions
1. Combine oat flour, whole oats, coconut flour, protein powder and salt in a large bowl and stir.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl combine nut butter, maple syrup, milk and vanilla. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir well to achieve a creamy batter. Pour nutty batter into flour mixture, stir to combine. Let dough sit for 15 minutes in refrigerator to cool. Once cooled, fold in chocolate chips.
3. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough into your hands and roll into perfectly round bites. About 20 total. Freeze 30 minutes.
4. Once popper balls are frozen, melt chocolate chips in microwave with coconut oil, heating in 30 second increments, stirring gently at every 30 seconds until melted.
5. Dip each cookie dough popper individually into the melted chocolate (I use long toothpicks to hold them) and sprinkle with large crystal salt. Let chocolate harden quickly on frozen dough poppers. Enjoy at cool room temperature.
