If you know, you KNOW! As a pretty big Costco fan (as so many of you may also be), you better believe I’ve had my fair share of Heavenly Hunks. They are SO. GOOD. It may sound crazy, but I pretty much have to keep them in stock all of the time. I *literally* eat one for dessert almost every single night and I also love having them on hand as a yummy afternoon treat!
However, I don’t always go to Costco for my groceries and recently I ran out of them (gasp!), so I ended up making my own copycat recipe. The result? The BEST Heavenly Hunks that taste just like real cookie dough bites! I am obsessed with this easy recipe, and I know you will be too. There’s nothing like a sweet cookie that’s also healthy and delicious!

What Are Heavenly Hunks?
Heavenly Hunks are essentially wholesome no-bake cookies! They’re great as a vegan snack or dessert. You can buy Heavenly Hunks on Amazon, at Walmart, or at Costco. Or you can make them at home with this recipe!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:
Rolled Oats – Old-fashioned oats (also called rolled oats) are the base for these Homemade Heavenly Hunks.
Oat Flour – You can purchase pre-made Oat Flour or make your own by simply blending rolled oats until a flour-like texture is created!
Almond Flour – Adding almond flour to this recipe adds healthy fats and texture. However, it can also be substituted for protein powder or more oat flour!
Shredded Coconut – You won’t want to skip out on the shredded coconut in these hunks. So yummy!
Coconut Oil – Melted coconut oil brings these no-bake cookies together.
Agave + Brown Sugar – Agave (or honey) sweeten the recipe, while the brown sugar adds flavor and takes it to another level.
Cashew Butter – Feel free to use any kind of nut butter, such as cashew butter, almond butter, or even peanut butter!
Chocolate Chips – I used regular vegan chocolate chips, but mini chocolate chips work great as well.

Any suggestions for oil free? Thanks!
Christine McMichael replied:
You could try using 1/4 cup applesauce or pumpkin puree instead! I haven’t tried it, but that would be my starting point. 🙂
