Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free sprouted oats
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 5 Medjool dates pitted pitted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Almond butter
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened, unflavoured almond milk
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/3 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- In food processor, pulse and chop sprouted oats to the consistency of quick oats—about 1/8th original size (about 5 to 10 seconds).
- Add ground flaxseed, vanilla, dates, cinnamon, almond butter, almond milk, and coconut oil and blend to sticky consistency. If mixture sticks to edges, scrape down with rubber spatula between blending.
- Add cranberries and shredded coconut and lightly pulse until blended into oat mixture.
- Scoop 1 Tbsp (15 mL) mixture in your hand, squeeze, and form into 1 in (2.5 cm) balls. If mixture is too soft to handle, place in fridge for 30 minutes before creating balls. Place formed balls in parchment paper-lined container.
- Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or, alternatively, store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Makes approximately 20 - 1 in (2.5 cm) bites.
