Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 small balls

Ingredients

  • 60 g rolled oats
  • 55 g raisins roughly chopped if large
  • 25 g almonds roasted, finely chopped
  • 15 g ground flax seed
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 50-60 g almond butter
  • 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Take a large bowl and put in the oats, raisins, almonds, ground flax seed and salt.

    Add 50g of the almond butter plus 1 tbsp of the honey.

  2. Start mixing everything together with a rubber spoon or spatula then switch to using your hands.

    Take a handful of the mixture and try to squeeze it together: if it is very crumbly and won't come together, add a little more almond butter and/or honey.

  3. When the mix sticks together well, put in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  4. Take teaspoonfuls of the mixture and squeeze into balls about the size of a walnut. Note: if you try to roll into balls, you may find they fall apart, especially if the almonds and raisins have not been chopped finely.
  5. Store the Oat Bites in the fridge in a covered container for up to one week or freeze and defrost as needed.
