These little guys are wholesome and absolutely delicious! This recipe is super easy and calls for common ingredients, all which I conveniently already had on hand. These apple cookie energy bites served as a great snack for me to take to ballet. They have a shelf life of up to four days if you can make them last that long before eating them all up!
________________________________
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed (I just used whole flax seed which simply created a different texture, but worked just as well)
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup almond butter OR peanut butter which is what I used! (gravitating away from healthiness, I've also used cookie butter to make this recipe, yum! Or a combination of them.)
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup (not packed) grated apple (about 1 medium); Granny Smith Apples are suggested but I used Red Delicious since that is what I had on hand. Also, I would love to know how one could successfully grate an apple, if someone can tell me?! I ended up "peeling" my apple to the core using a potato peel which sufficed.
Directions:
- In a large bowl stir together the oats, flaxseed, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl stir together the almond butter, honey, vanilla, and pinch of salt until well combined, then pour over the oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Add and stir in grated/apple peelings.
- Next, take tablespoon-sized portions of your mixture and create little balls use your hands to squeeze and shape the mixture tightly together; Slightly wet hands will help to keep the mixture from sticking to your hands.
Buen Porvecho!
