‘Nutella’ Stuffed Cookie Dough Balls
‘Nutella’ Stuffed Cookie Dough BallsNutella is one of those things I miss A LOTsince cutting out dairy and junk food and trying to eat more consciously. I know eating a spoon of it won’t kill me and if I really wanted to I would eat it, but it’s easier for me to avoid such foods because once I have a taste, I want to eat the whole thing. I’m sure I’m not alone in this!It’s like recently the hubby bought a bag of salted crisps and I had somewhile we were watching a film. I never crave salty foods, but since then I’ve had thiscrazy craving forcrisps,despite always craving sweet food usually. Now all of a suddenall I want to eat is crisps and I know it’s because I had a taste for it and now my brain wants more!
It’s the same scenario with any other kind of treat, whether it be sweets, biscuits, cake or in this case Nutella! I made a healthierversion a while back so I didn’t feel like Iwas missing out but recently started craving it again. The hubby is to blame here too. He bought a big jar of the silky smooth stuff and just one sniff had me craving it like mad! The only solution was for me to make another batch of my healthier homemade version of‘Nutella’.
It’s so easy for me to whip up a really quick batch now in my trustee Optimum G2.3 blender. It literally took a couple of minutes of blending time to achieve a silky smooth finish. Really handy when you don’t have much time (or patience!).
So I after feeding my Nutella cravings, I still had some left over that needed to be eaten, so I decided to create these Nutella stuffed cookie dough balls. No bake and really easy to make with only a few ingredients that I had in my cupboard like oats, ground almonds, coconut oil and maple syrup. They turned out so lush and delicious!

Homemade nutella makes all the difference! Now the only problem is that I can’t stop just eating one or two…can you?

Argh, I know, I know. When you’re going through a supposed “disciplined” phase and will “only have one”. Don’t think I’ll be able to keep to the stick-to-one rule with these balls either, too delicious!

What do you mean by plain oats? Can I use quick oats or do I need something else?
