5-Ingredient Golden Milk Snack Bites

Can report that it’s delicious with tahini and vanilla protein powder as suggested! Has more protein and amazing use of golden mix.

These are an absolute delight. I can’t stop making them since I tasted my first batch! I subbed natural fresh ground peanut butter in lieu of cashew butter (based on what I had available) and I actually loved the nutty taste with the spice combination. As a variation, I also added a few chopped medjool dates (and added a bit less maple syrup). Thank you for another unique, delicious recipe!!!

These snack bites are delicious! I used almond flour instead of coconut flour because it’s what I had on hand. I also swirled in the melted coconut butter instead of putting it on top. I’m always looking for excuses to use my jar of coconut butter and these treats definitely hit the spot!

Made these are they are delicious, nutritious, and warming. They are soft to eat and truly taste like golden milk. I couldn’t get the coconut butter to work so I just rolled in shredded coconut and boom. I especially love you don’t need to blend or use a food processor to make these. These will definitely be on rotation.

I did have to buy coconut flour and cashew butter but I was able to easily find the ingredients at my local and smaller Safeway.

Well these are super delicious! I doubled the recipe in order to make bigger bites. And used half hemp, half protein powder. I rolled them in puffed amaranth. So good!!

Dana, I just wanted to let you know that these bites helped fuel me this weekend for a 50 mile trail race, and they were fantastic!! Bomb flavor, perfect size. Thought I’d share an experience that is not your typical use case for your art. Thank you!

These have made the perfect afternoon snack! So flavourful and perfectly sweet.

These are incredible! I’m already on batch two and I’ll be making them on repeat. Love how they’re sweet but with a hint of savouriness…they’re really special. I made them basically exactly as described, but without the coconut butter, and have used both hemp seeds and flax seeds. A winner!

Golden milk snack balls were my intro to golden milk and I can’t seem to stop myself! I’ve made them about 10 times and usually with some variation on ingredients for the fun of it.
Cashew butter makes for the smoothest flavor, almond butter is also good and half almond-half sun butter to hide the sun butter flavor a bit. Peanut butter is different, but good if you’re expecting peanuts-I used more spice tho, to balance the flavors.
Coconut flour and almond flour are the only flours I’ve experimented with. The ratios are different as you and others noted, and the texture, but equally eat-able!
In double batches I’ve taken to adding about a tablespoon each of Maca powder and ground flax, adjusting the flour at the end for a good consistency.
They are delicious topped with coconut butter and seriously addicting dipped in chocolate. Similar to Reeses if you use pb in the mix! I even tried a maple syrup glaze over coconut butter on the less-sweet batches. ??
The only hiccup I ran into was due to impatience. In a hurry I threw everything in a bowl without measuring the coconut flour. I ended up with too stiff a consistency and other than adding maple syrup no way to loosen it up. I was out of ingredients but in those cases doubling the batch is my go-to.
All told, the only problem with these is that they are too convenient to eat!
Thank you, Dana!!

I made this yesterday! Although I had to modify based on my ingredients: I used salted cashew butter and left out the pinch of salt. I also made my own coconut flour out of dried coconut flakes and that turned out more coarse than I had anticipated. The mixture was quite wet, it didn’t roll into perfect round balls as I had hoped for. But they are DELICIOUS! I brought them into work and 4 people have tried and like! I also rolled them in crushed raw un-toasted almond bits; the mixture was a bit too sweet for me (I used 3 tbsp of maple syrup, should’ve used 2), so I thought it would help balance out the flavor. Very excited to have a new snack (as well as Golden Milk mixture). It’s very rich though, I can eat about half of a little ball.

Thank you for this amazing idea! I love your golden milk mix but I don’t like drinking so much milk. So this is a great way to enjoy it!

This is a wonderfully easy snack to make. I brought these over to a friend’s house and it was a hit. Everyone asked for your recipe :)

These were absolutely delicious! I made them for my friend who is suffering from multiple autoimmune disease flares & wanted to find something to help with the inflammation. He loved them. Thank you!

I made these with almond butter but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. They’re delightful! I’m a breastfeeding mama that has had to cut dairy for my allergic infant and am always looking for satisfying snacks. These were so quick to make and really hit the mark!

Thank you for this recipe! I can’t have any milks right now but wanted to try the spice mix so badly. I used sunflower seed butter (avoiding nuts right now) and ground flax for hemp seeds as per someone else’s suggestion. I only needed 2 Tbsp of coconut flour since the 2Tbsp of ground flax stiffened up the dough considerably.
Yes you can taste the sunflower seed butter but I’m used to that. Rolled them in u sweetened coconut and now I want to eat the whole platter in one sitting :)

Hi?I tried these with something called sesame paste, a thicker version of tahini. They are a ma zing❣️❣️
For sweetness, I used date paste. I have not changed the measurements.
I believe the magic is in your golden milk mix. I cannot get enough of it.
Here is a little ? for you?

I thought these turned out great! Will def make again and again … and again :) Made them with almond butter and subed vegan vanilla protein powder instead of hemp seeds.

So yummy! I made these about 3 times last week ? a new favorite! So easy to stir together, no blender or food processor required, love that!

Love this recipe! Added cardomom and used almond flour. Delicious!!

I made these recently for a party food for friends who have a very strict diet for health reasons. I used hazelnuts as they were what I have on hand and ground them to replace the cashew butter. We dipped them in enjoy life melted chips and everyone thought they were great. I’m enjoying the undipped leftovers. I enjoy being able to get the benenfits of golden milk without the millk. Thanks for a great recipe idea.

These are absolutely delicious. I just love the spice combination, and I enjoy a different approach to consuming turmeric aside from either in the usual Indian/curry dishes or via a drink.

I really enjoyed that I was able to put these together in a standard mixing bowl, as well. I’m so used to energy ball recipes requiring the use of my food processor (because they usually contain dates.) I even caught myself pulling out my food processor. Then I read the directions and said “Oh!” and put it back with some satisfaction.

I wish I could say I made these exactly as the recipe stated, but I made a couple changes:

1. I used plain, un-sweetened protein powder instead of hemp hearts (I just don’t like hemp hearts in sweet dishes. I feel they have a savory flavor that just doesn’t pair well with sweet.)

2. I had to use almond flour as I didn’t have any coconut flour. I ended up adding about an extra 1/4 cup to get the consistency needed to form the balls (thanks for the warning!)

3. While I was adding extra almond flour, I added a tablespoon of ground flax (in place of what would have been extra almond flour.) Did this just for the added omega 3’s. I also imagine they would be a decent replacement to the hemp hearts/protein powder if you wanted.

4. I added about a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Because, vanilla. :)

5. I used a store-bought brand of coconut butter for the swirl-in called Binnie’s Very Vanilla Coconut Butter. It’s pretty divine (but insanely expensive – between the cashew butter and this, these were some expensive little snack bites haha.)

These were absolutely delicious. I plan to make them again. Maybe trying it out with less expensive almond butter the next go-around, and probably leaving out the coconut butter (unless I make my own.) But that cashew butter really makes ’em good. Cashews are just naturally sweet so they work so good with this recipe.

Thank you for the inspiration!

These are soooo good!! My new fave snack bite

Amazing recipe!!!!! I will absolutly make this again (and again and again and again)!!! My food processor isn’t very powerfull so the coconut butter wasn’t very buttery, but it still worked for this recipe :)

These are fantastic! I made the recipe as written, using half vanilla protein powder (I use Bob’s Red Mill per your recommendation- love it!) and half hemp seed hearts, then rolled in shredded coconut. So easy, and so delicious! Planning to make them again this weekend, and will probably double the batch this time so I can freeze some for later. I also like the suggestion from Jan to add raisins in the center- yum! Thanks! :)

Just made these yesterday – delicious and I love the texture! I kept it around 2.5 tbsp maple syrup and it was perfect. I plan to add cardamom to my next batch because I’m obsessed with it lately. Artisana brand raw cashew butter was great – no added sugar and nice and creamy! My first time using cashew butter and I’m a fan. Thanks for a great recipe!

These are AMAZING! Tastes like it’s parents are a ginger snap and a pumpkin pie.

These were delicious!!!! Thanks! I added caramel protein and cardamom. :)

These are amazing!

Holy moly, these are just as divine as I was hoping. Used TJ cashew butter, almond flour (had no coconut flour) and added some vanilla protein powder. So flavorful! I hope they hold up in my pack for my bike rides. Otherwise I’ll probably just stuff them into dates which make a natural package. Did anyone else hear the tiny voice saying, “Poke some raisins into the center!” Wow, thank you Tiny Voice and Dana! Deeee-licious.

I made this using almond flour (1/2 cup), sunflower butter and chia seeds, I doubled the golden milk seasoning, used 4TBS maple syrup and added a splash of vanilla extract. Delicious!! Super glad to have a ”portable” Golden milk snack! Thank you,Dana—your recipes are always fantastic!

Just made these and they are lovely, Dana. I used Gaia Golden Milk Mix, and since I was short on cashew butter by about two tablespoons, I made up for it by adding a packet of Justin’s Maple Almond butter. I also used almond flour, and you were right, I needed about two more tablespoons to get the perfect consistency. I used a mini ice cream scoop and got about 15 bites. I rolled half of them in shredded coconut, and the other half I dipped in coconut butter. Since I used Artisana brand, it tends to be runnier than home made coconut butter. Thanks again, for yet another great recipe! I appreciate your hard work, dedication, and attention to detail. ?, Franny

Loved this! Used closer to 2.5-3 tbsp maple syrup, and about 1.5 tsp in my milk mix, and it came out great. Not too sweet but enough sweetness that I think many tastebuds can enjoy. I added more milk mix to it too, as the flour leaves it a bit drier and I wanted to try with more of the delicious ‘milk’. I also used a brand of coconut milk that is a staple for me but I’ll be trying with almond or almond x coconut next time. Only disappoint is these are tiny! I had to make two batches. You’ll get about 6-7 ‘regular’ sized balls, and since I made them again, around 9 smaller ones the other time.

I used a scoop of NUZEST protein powder instead of coconut flour and they came out great! Love the flavor switch up to my usual snack bites!

Fantastic! I just made them with a few changes. I didn’t have cashew butter so I substituted almond butter. I didn’t have coconut flour so I used almond meal (I needed about 1 cup, just like you said, Dana). I also added a pinch of orange zest. I already ate two on the way to refrigerate them. Wow!!! Thanks, Dana!

I used tahini and brown rice flour because that is what I had at the house. They turned out so good! It was hard not to just eat all the mix before I put the coconut rolled ones into the fridge! What a great snack thank you for this recipe!

I used homemade cashew butter (plain, unsalted cashews blended in a Vitamix) and almond flour instead of coconut flour. I had to almost double the flour and the golden milk mix. Overall tasty and super simple and easy to make!

A very quick recipe to make, and satisfying. Since I didn’t have cashew butter, I substituted the tahini as suggested. 2 thumbs up!
