Now here is a dessert of note, our Raw No Bake Chocolate Oat Balls will definitely tingle those taste buds!
Last month I posted a bunch of raw food recipes, but whats a meal without dessert, right? So feast your eyes on this! These have been a great hit at any dinner we have ever been to. I almost always bring these with as a host gift.
No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Balls Recipe
- 1 cup sifted or finely ground Organic oats (A), unsifted leaves bigger flakes of oats over, perfect if you want a bit of crispiness.
- 2-3 tbsp Raw cacao/carob powder (made to taste, lighter or darker) (A) I’ve used 3 tbsp of Raw Cacao, I like my chocolate strong! Word of caution if it is your first time eating “raw” chocolate you will want the lower amount, its very potent!
- 3 tbsp Raw butter/ coconut oil (B) I’ve used coconut oil in this batch, but coconut oil based ones have to be kept in the fridge if you want them to keep their shape!
- 2-3 tbsp Honey (made to taste, depending on desired sweetness) (B) Once again I’ve used a generous 3 tbsp of honey, I like it really sweet!! Remember: No honey for the kids under 1 year of age. 😉
- Your coconut flakes and cocoa powder to roll in.
Preparation:
- add ingredients (A) and mix till a good blend
- melt ingredients (B) in a warm bowl placed into another bowl filled with hot water.
- pour the oat / choc powder in the bowl with the molten butter and honey mixture, mix thoroughly.
- with a teaspoon, place the chocolate paste in a silicone ice cube holder, compacting and flattening it
- roll into balls once the mixture has cooled down enough to handle with your hands. Roll little balls in the coconut or cocoa powder.
- keeps longer in the deep freeze, but I like it in the fridge, its not going to be around long enough to have to be in the deep freeze!!
Side Notes:
Its good to taste your honey before hand, I’ve had a batch of honey that didn’t taste nice, like i like it, and it ruined my whole batch of chocolate.
Of course you don’t have to make them into balls either. My 3 year old was very pleased at having them cut into various shapes with the cookie cutter!

I have a huge sweet tooth and this looks like a tasty and healthier option. I found your link “Swap n’ Share Sunday” at Spatulas On Parade.

Thanks for this. I have some vegan friends and while I pass out goodies to everyone I know, it’s a little more difficult to find stuff suitable for them. I’ll have to make these (with the coconut oil of course) and pass them along. 🙂
Aly says
Cool I have all these ingredients from our last visit to a health food shop.
Katie Vyktoriah says
I can’t wait until we move into our new house so that I can start cooking/baking again. Until then, these seem like quite a good thing to try!!
Nicolette Roux says
I love them! 😉
Marie says
These look awesome! I’ve never heard of raw chocolate. I really like dark chocolate, so I think I must find some and try it!
Nicolette Roux says
For sure! If you go the health store they should have the strong stuff 🙂
