These tasty snickerdoodle cake balls easily add sweets to your life.

Light and lovely, you can eat these tasty treats without feeling too guilty. If you're looking for a snickerdoodle recipe without cream of tarter, this is a fantastic option.
From the Chef: My husband and I have a "labradoodle," also known as a doodle, and her name is Paisley. My in-laws have her sister, whose name is Sophie, but we all call her Snickerdoodle. My sister-in-law and husband adopted her brother, Hunter, who we call a string bean. This sounds silly, and it is, but whenever I hear the word "snickerdoodle," I think of our three sweet, little furry pups and can't help but smile. You may feel the same way once you try these little balls of joy. Plus, they are healthy and full of whole, nutritious ingredients.

Omg, I love your story about the fur babies...poor string bean just wishing he could be a doodle too. LOL This is a great recipe especially if you're not a big sweet eater. My only issue is I'm not a fan of sticky stuff...so I thought, how about after you chill the snickerdoodle balls or actually any shape you like if you were to dip them into some unsweetened cocoa and get your chocolate fix at the same time?

Snickerdoodle is such a fun word to say, and I'm sure these little nut and date balls would be equally fun to eat. I like the fact that it's a really simple recipe and doesn't take much time at all to prepare. Anything with almonds and coconut makes me perk up, and I plan on making these soon. This would be a great addition to a holiday cookie tray.

A no-bake, high protein dessert made with healthy, wholesome ingredients?! I love it! This snickerdoodle balls are spiced, nutty, and not too sweet. If you are trying to reduce your added sugar intake, try unsweetened flaked coconut. Additionally, you may use coconut oil instead of coconut extract since that is easier to find and you may already have it in your house!
