Almond Butter Bites
Almond butter mixed with raisins, craisins, sunflower seeds, toasted pecans, quinoa, honey and brown sugar are packed with energy for an afternoon pick-me-up, or a trail snack!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oats *can be quick or old fashioned
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup pre-toasted chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup raisins (or currants)
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp raw millet or quinoa for crunch
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp pistachio oil or coconut oil
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except the oil in a mixing bowl. Rub your hands (or a wooden spoon) with the pistachio or coconut oil and mix everything together until thoroughly integrated. Note - It will take a few minutes in order to get the almond butter blended into the other ingredients.
- Shape the mixture into balls. Store them in an airtight container in or out of the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Enjoy your burst of energy!
Notes
Makes 14 (1 1/2-inch) Bites. Also, you can use rubber gloves for rolling the almond bite balls if you don’t like to get your hands too sticky! I have done both … oiled my hands to roll the balls and also I’ve used gloves. I think I like the gloves better:)🤓
