No bake cookie dough balls
Have you had cookie dough balls before. Most of them include large amounts on unhealthy ingredients such as sugar and sometimes even regular flour, which in my opinion is gross. This version of no bake cookie dough balls is gluten free, vegan and healthy for you.

Hello there. My name is Miryam and I am the clinical dietitian and Physician Assistant behind Eat Good 4 Life. My wish is to inspire you to start cooking healthier so that you can live a longer and happier life. Thanks for stopping by (
I’m struggling to prepare wheat free, nut free tasty snacks for my son. He is not allergic to nuts, but sensitive and need to stay off them until he is tested again next. What can I replace the nut? many thanks
Sorry, the nut butter!
The only thing I can think of is sunflower seed butter. Since it is a seed and not a legume like peanuts or a tree nut he should be OK. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
Thank you. I have tried pumkin seed butter before which was too strong. Is sunflower less so?
Trying your Carribean Rice dish tonight, are red beans the same as Aduki beans?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks :)
No problem. I think sunflower seed butter is mild, especially when compared to lets say peanut butter. I haven’t try pumpkin seed butter though so I couldn’t tell for sure!! Maybe do a smaller batch in case is a no go? :-)
Thank you again. You are so prompt it makes using your site enjoyable as most people take days or weeks, but which time you’ve lost the impetus! We are reducing refined sugar, no nits, no wheat, so this transitional phase is laborious and very experimental! Thank you again. :)
Apologies, my email confused me and I thought I was responding to a comment you had posted, but in actual fact I realise it’s what’s in your copy already! How stupid of me :) just ignore. :)
No problem I will delete the previous comment :-) Good luck with the recipe!!
