Low FODMAP Cookie Dough Truffles

I love food blogging and photography, but one of the things I have a more difficult time with is having to work ahead of time. Like making a Thanksgiving turkey in August. Christmas cookies in September. Easter ham in January. I’m someone who is most creative when I’m inspired and in the moment. It’s easy to get in the mood to make Christmas cookies as it snows outside and holiday music is playingโ€ฆ.not during a heat wave in August.


It seems I’m always struggling (and sometimes failing!) at getting blog posts up before the holiday I created a recipe for. In fact, I’m pretty proud of myself for getting this post up two whole days before Valentine’s Day! Again, I get more inspired as the holiday gets closer.

This time I was inspired by a cupcake with cookie dough frosting a had last week (from That One Cupcake Place). I do splurge from time to time and have a treat filled with things I usually avoid – wheat, eggs, dairy, sugars. Since moving and working in an office now, it’s harder to control what I eat and I’ve definitely loosened up a lot. For the most part, I do try to avoid FODMAPs, but sometimes there’s a special lunch at work, or a cupcake calling your name. Sometimes I suffer the consequences, sometimes I don’t, but it’s usually worth it either way. I mean, come on – cookie dough cupcakes?!?!

Low FODMAP Cookie Dough Truffles

Really Easy to Make

These truffles are perfect for when you want just a little bit of chocolate. Just to enjoy a little bit of cookie dough without eating the whole bowlful (or a whole cupcake as the case may be!). Just to satisfy that craving. Or you can give them to your sweetie and hope he or she shares! They are really easy to make. Just make up some dough, roll in balls and then dip in melted chocolate.

Low FODMAP Cookie Dough Truffles

Decorate these Low FODMAP Cookie Dough Truffles however you want. This is the fun part! You can make them vegan too by using vegan margarine and dairy-free chocolate chips. Although I do have to admit that the dough made with butter is better than with margarine. Sometimes there is just no substitute for real butter. There is definitely no substitute for chocolate on Valentine’s Day!

Cookie Dough Truffles

Low FODMAP Cookie Dough Truffles are made with oat flour. A delicious chocolate chip and gluten-free treat with an option to make them vegan.
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Keyword chocolate, cookies, dough, egg-free, gluten-free, low-fodmap, truffles, vegan
Prep Time 20 minutes
Chilling Time 30 minutes
Servings 26 truffles

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (Earth Balance margarine for vegan)*
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup oat flour (gluten-free if needed)**
  • 12 oz. Enjoy Life Dairy-Free Mini Chocolate Chips (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil (or other neutral-tasting oil)

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugars together until smooth. Beat in the vanilla and salt. Blend in the oat flour. Add more flour as needed, just until the dough is easily formed into a ball, but not too stiff (you want the inside of the truffles creamy!). Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Form dough into 1″ balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Place the remaining chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir. If chips are not completely melted after stirring, microwave on high in 15 second increments, stirring afterward, just until the chips are melted. Stir in the oil. Dip each dough ball in the melted chocolate to coat completely and place on the waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Let cool until chocolate is hardened. Serve.
  • You can store these truffles in the fridge, but set them out a couple of hours before serving so the inside is nice and creamy.

Notes

*Although I haven’t tried it, virgin coconut oil would be another (possibly tastier than margarine) vegan option.
** To make your own oat flour, pulse 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats in a food processor, blender, or coffee grinder until ground into a fine powder.
