I'm popping in on this dreary February day to share a recipe that I've been making for over a year now: oatmeal cookie energy bites. Try making energy bites using the food processor! Today I'm sharing a similar version, but this time using a food processor to chop the oatmeal into a finer texture that gives these bites the taste and texture of cookie dough, which I prefer!
Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites instructions
- As you can see above, I have made a few recommendations to choose for the nuts. I went with cashews... but if you can get your hands on walnuts or pecans go for that!... Take about a cup of cashews and grind it to a powdered texture in a food processor or blender. I used my spice grinder..
- Next grab a big bowl, and add all the dry ingredients one by one: Ground nuts, the oats, raisins and cranberries, cinnamon and nutmeg. I LOVE cranberries, so I decided to go with a mix of raisins and cranberries, you can just use raisins if you can't find cranberries or vice versa. Definitely make sure you use old fashioned oats and not instant oats :).
- Add the honey and peanut butter (I went with crunchy, but smooth works too) and mix well until completely blended. I used a spatula but you can use a electric mixer... I just couldn't be bothered!.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and roll into 1 inch balls. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge..
Plus this version has unsweetened coconut and vanilla extract for even more delicious flavor and texture. It takes just a few minutes to mix this.
