    Sugar cookie truffles that are sweet and creamy, made in one bowl with 4 ingredients, taste just like sugar cookies and are full of fiber and protein. The perfect between-meal snack.

    These chocolate sugar cookie truffles can be made in one bowl with five simple yet nourishing ingredients. Oat flour and natural nut butter loads these truffles with energy-boosting protein and fiber and are also light on the carbs.

    Like my oat flour sugar cookies and my 3 Ingredient almond flour sugar cookies made with almond flour, these truffles are dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free!

    Why You'll Love These

    • Nutrition. Not only is oat flour gluten-free, but it is loaded with vitamins and nutrients. Each truffle contains 1 gram of fiber, 2 grams of protein and only 3 grams of sugar.
    • Filling & Reduces Hunger.
    • Easy to make.

    Ingredients

    • Oat flour - Make oat flour by blending or processing rolled oats; or use another flour such as almond.
    • Milk - Use dairy-free oat milk, almond milk, or your favorite milk.
    • Cashew butter - I used cashew butter because it's mild in flavor.
    • Maple syrup - Or your favorite liquid sweetener, or date paste.
    • Vanilla - Don't skip this, it gives your sugar cookies flavor.
    • Chocolate - I used chocolate chips. Melt the chips with oil to thin it out.

    See the recipe card at the bottom for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Substitutions

    • Oat flour. You can substitute oat flour for almond flour. The flavor will be even more buttery.
    • Chocolate coating. Use high quality chocolate chips by Enjoylife, HU or Ghiradelli. Or melt your favorite quality chocolate bar.
    • Cashew Butter. Any nut butter can be used.

    Recipe Tips

    • Sweetness level. If you'd like a lower sweetness level, replace one of the maple syrup tablespoons with milk.

    Storage

    Chocolate coated sugar cookie truffles last two days at room temperature. You can refrigerate them for a week. After that, freeze the dough uncoated but in scooped and rolled balls. When you are ready to coat them, let them thaw an hour so they are not frozen.

    FAQS

    How Healthy is Oat Flour?

    High in fiber and protein, oats are known to support weight-loss, balanced blood sugar and reduce the risk of heart disease. Specifically they are high in essential vitamins and nutrients such as iron, zinc, folate and B vitamins.

    Can I bake these sugar cookie truffles?

    No, there are no ingredients that would support baking. Try my 2-ingredient sugar cookies here instead.

      I am planning on making this recipe because it just looks SO GOOD! Question though. Are the cashew milk and butter a must, or can they be substituted? Very excited to try this 🙂

        Hi Cassandra, that's great news. Any nut butter will work, it adds creaminess. And any milk is fine. I choose cashew only because it's flavor is closest to sugar cookie batter. Good luck! Dee

      These cookie truffles look amazing and I love that they contain so many healthy ingredients such as cashews and oats! And yes, I also think that maple syrup is a better choice when it comes to sweeteners, much better than refined sugar, agave or honey. Great recipe, Dee!
