Skinny Strawberry Shortcake Bites. Gluten free and vegan. Perfect for snacking!
A Snack fit for a Princess..
These little snacks are so fun, my youngest daughter loves them! As a bonus: they’re pink! Which might explain her love for them. And I can’t really blame her.
At least it’s all good ingredients so I didn’t mind her snacking on them all day long. Whenever I make a batch of these skinny bites, or any of the others that I have recipes for (skinny lemon bites, and skinny cookie dough bites) they never last long in the house!
Skinny Strawberry Shortcake Bites
These skinny bites taste like strawberry shortcake! Gluten free, vegan, and absolutely delicious! Perfect for snacking.
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries
- 1 Cup Cashews raw, unsalted
- ½ Cup Rolled Oats
- 4 tbsp Agave
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the cashews, freeze dried strawberries, and quick oats into a food processor or blender. Process for about 2 minutes, or until you are left with a fine powder. Don’t over process or blend, this could cause you to end up with cashew butter.
- Add in the vanilla extract and agave, stir until fully combined. Will be slightly sticky.
- Scoop out about a tablespoon of mixture and press together with your hands.
- Roll into a ball shape. Mixture will be sticky. Make sure you press it together firmly in your palms to get the mixture to form into a shape.
- Recipe will make approximately 18 bites. Enjoy! Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Can also be kept in the refrigerator if you enjoy them cold

I used a TBSP of coconut syrup and they tasted awesome. They were a bit runny though. Would you just add more oats to counter-act? Has anyone else had this problem?
Hi Keri! If they turn out a bit runny then yes, add a bit more dry ingredient to get the desired consistency. They should be a bit sticky to form into balls.
Could these be made without the cashews? We are nut free due to allergies.
Hi Rose, sadly this recipe wouldn’t work without the cashews. They are the main foundational ingredient to this recipe.
Hi Serene,
These Strawberry shortcake bites really look yummy. My younger brother has celiac disease and he is not supposed to eat gluten. I was searching for Gluten free snack recipes to surprise him. I will surely try them out. I really like the combination of strawberries and nuts in it.Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
Hi Anjali! I’m so glad you enjoy the recipe! And thanks for your sweet words. My brother has celiac as well so I definitely know the challenge of cooking for someone with a limited diet. I hope these work out for you! xo
Could you use peanuts instead of cashews
Hi Natasha! I haven’t made these with peanuts before. I have used cashews and mixed them with peanut butter instead of honey if you’re looking for a peanut type flavor. But if you need to replace the cashews due to dietary restrictions then I would imagine it should work out, you need to be careful with peanuts just like the cashews when processing or blending though. If you go too far you will end up with nut butter! If you try out the peanuts let me know how it goes!
How many calories per bite? These are super delicious and absolutely easy to make.
