Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almonds, chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pitted dates
- 0.5 cup Warm water
Instructions
Start by soaking the pitted dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them.
In the meantime, in a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix.
Drain the dates and place them in a food processor. Add the almond butter and vanilla extract. Process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Pour the date mixture into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until fully combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into compact balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, dampen your hands with a little water.
Place the granola bites on a tray lined with parchment paper. Once all the bites are formed, chill them in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to set.
Store the sugar-free granola bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for longer storage.
