Pro Tips

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: Yes — you can prepare the cookie dough and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week (or freeze rolled bites for up to a month).

Q: What can I substitute?
A: You can swap almond flour for oat flour (start with ¾ cup if doing so, as it absorbs more liquid). Use any nut or seed butter in place of peanut butter. A keto-friendly sweetener can replace maple syrup for a lower carb version.

Q: How should I serve it?
A: Enjoy it straight from the bowl as a snack, roll into bite-sized balls for grab-and-go, or serve alongside fresh fruit or yogurt for a protein-boosted dessert.
