Ingredients
Scale
For the dry ingredients:
- 3/4 cup oats
- 3/4 cup almond meal
- 3/4 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the wet ingredients:
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the mix-ins:
- 3/4 cup nuts/seeds (I used a mix of pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans, and chopped almonds)
- 3/4 cup dried fruit (I used raisins and diced apricots)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup flax
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Add in the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Next, add in the mix-ins and stir until well combined - it might take a bit of elbow grease, but you want the mix ins to be evenly incorporated even though the mixture will be quite loose and crumbly.
- Greese a mini muffin tin (silicone works best!) and pack the dough into the cups. Alternatively, form the dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter and line up on the baking sheet. Lightly press down on the bites to flatten them slightly.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cook in the tin or on the tray for 10 minutes. Gently remove the bites onto a cooking rack and cool completely. Serve.
