If you love gingersnaps, than I think you’ll enjoy this no-bake recipe. They are full of flavor and quite addicting!
I’m really loving these vegan raw cookie balls, if you haven’t noticed this is my fourth recipe within two weeks. They’re all easy to make, healthy and so delicious!
Plus, I love the idea of it being a doughy cookie. Along with that, I love all the natural ingredients that go into this style cookie. It does harden a bit once refrigerated, becoming less doughy and more of a chewy style cookie.
You only need a few to satisfy your craving, and if you have too many, you won’t feel guilty!
Without further ado, let’s make raw ginger snaps!
How To Make Raw Ginger Snaps
What you’ll need:
- 3/4 cup oats, regular or quick (I used GF)
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 3/4 cup dates, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced or 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger powder
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsulphured organic molasses, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg or ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- sesame seeds & cinnamon, for rolling
Start by pulsing your oats and almonds until a somewhat fine consistency.
Next, add in your remaining ingredients (shown above) and blend until it clumps together forming a dough ball (shown below).
The dough is amazing, try not to eat too much before you roll your balls like I did. I would have gotten 12 balls but I couldn’t resist eating some of the dough only leaving me with 11 of these delicious spiracle treats.
Roll the balls in sesame seeds or cinnamon for a finished look (shown below), or leave them as is. Super easy and delicious!

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oats, regular or quick (I used GF)
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 3/4 cup dates, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced or 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger powder
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice

Instructions
Combine oats and almonds in food processor, blend until you get a fairly fine consistency, doesn’t have to be perfect. Add dates and rest of ingredients, blend until combined and dough like consistency, about 1 minute. If for any reason you added more oats or nuts/seeds and you feel it is too dry, try adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time to get desired consistency. Let set in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or so to help stiffen the dough.
Roll your dough into 1 inch balls. If you like you can roll them in cinnamon or white sesame seeds for a more finished look. Shredded coconut would be another great option.
Keep refrigerated and enjoy within two weeks or so. Makes 12 balls.
NOTES:
For those with nut allergies, you may substitute the almonds for sunflower seeds or hemp hearts.
I use oats in the recipe to cut the fat content. Feel free to use all almonds or more almonds and less oats.
