Heavenly Hunks Birthday Cake Bites (Copycat Recipe)

birthday cake heavenly hunk cookies with sprinkles

These deliciously simple birthday cake cookies are my copycat version of the delicious Heavenly Hunks birthday cake recipe.

One of my favorite store-bought sweet treats to grab are any of the Heavenly Hunk cookie flavors. But, I also love recreating some of my favorites at home, like these Heavenly Hunks Birthday Cake Bites!

Have you tried Birthday Cake Heavenly Hunks?

This recent flavor from Heavenly Hunks is so delicious, I knew I had to try to make my own version at home! And, even though this recipe is pretty spot on… I still always love grabbing a bag when I see them at places like Home Goods and TJ Maxx. 

I also recently found out some Costco stores carry Heavenly Hunks Birthday Cake Bites in addition to the Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Bites!

There’s many different ways to make a dessert more blood sugar friendly. Many of my recipes focus on adding additional fiber or protein. But, this recipe for Heavenly Hunks Birthday Cake Bites focuses on cutting back on sugar. 

This recipe has 3g less sugar per cookie than the originals, and about the same amount of fat, fiber, and protein. 

Because of the lack of protein and fiber in these, however, I do recommend enjoying them with a meal or with another protein and/or fiber source.

Heavenly hunks copycat recipe

This copycat recipe uses many of the same ingredients as the store bought version. And, you can see below for all the different ingredient swap options there are if you don’t have some of the ingredients on hand. 

The only ingredient not listed in the originals that I decided to add was vanilla extract. I noticed in the store-bought version ingredient list, they don’t use vanilla extract or any flavorings that we could easily purchase at the grocery store. But, I think the addition of vanilla extract really helps the flavor come together. You could also swap in some almond extract too for more of a wedding cake flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats use gluten free if needed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp finely ground salt

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.

 Scoop the dough (about 1 Tbsp per cookie) into an oven-safe silicone ice cube tray. (I found one on Amazon that works great! Linked below.)

  1. Hi, I am seeing so many healthy recipes these days with coconut oil in them and I am concerned about the saturated fats…especially for our best friend who now has a heart stint. Is coconut oil Ok and if not, can you recommend a good substitute? Trying to feed everyone with different tastes and different health concerns is a little stressful for me but I’m trying to learn!
