Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium baking powder
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the chia seeds with water and let them sit for about 5 minutes to form a gel-like consistency.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, baking powder, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Add the chia seed mixture, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and garlic powder to the dry ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined, forming a dough.
Using clean hands, form small, bite-sized balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bites are golden and crispy on the outside.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your heart-healthy Parmesan bites!
