I’m not a baker at all, so I love healthy treats that require minimal effort. These don’t even require baking! My whole family loves them, I put them in my son’s lunches for school and my husband loves them too! Gluten free & vegan.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats (blended into flour) or store bought oat flour

• 1 cup almond flour

• 2 TBSP ground flax seed + 1/4 cup water (combine & set aside for 5 minutes)

• 1/2 cup nut or seed butter

• 3 TBSP maple syrup

• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of sea salt

• 1/4 to 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Method

1. Add all ingredients (except chocolate chips) to a food processor, blend until all ingredients come together.

2. Move ingredients to a bowl & stir in chocolate chips

3. The dough will be a bit wet & tacky, put in the fridge for 10 minutes them remove and roll into balls.

4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These will keep for at least a week. You can also keep them in the freezer & let thaw for a couple minutes before eating.

   If you don’t have a food processor, mix together in a bowl. If the dough seems too dry to mix, you could use a splash of nut milk to help bring ingredients together. Add a touch more flour if you dough ends up being too wet but I promise they will stiffen up in the fridge.

Notes

• I typically use almond butter or sunbutter for the recipe but anything will work, use your favorite! Peanut, almond, cashew, sunbutter - all would taste great.

• For chocolate chips, I typically use Enjoy Life Foods.
