ingredient. Satisfy this hunger at the end of the afternoon with these simple

INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup (40 g) quick oats
- 1/2 cup (15 g) crispy rice cereal
- 6 tbsp (120 g) brown rice syrup**
- 1/2 cup (128 g) almond butter*
- 1/4 cup (28 g) coconut flour
- 1/4 cup (40 g) chocolate chips, for melting
- 1 cup (80 g) oats, ground into a flour***
- 1 – 2 tbsp (15 – 30 ml) unsweetened almond milk, if needed
INSTRUCTIONS
First, add
the almond butter and brown rice syrup to a small bowl and stir until well
combined. Put aside.
Then, combine
oatmeal, coconut flour, quick oats and crispy rice cereals in a large mixing
bowl, stirring until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry
ingredients and mix until completely incorporated. The mixture may seem a bit
dry and difficult to work at first, but continue to mix until the ingredients
begin to incorporate, adding 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of almond milk to
soften it, if necessary.
Using a full
tablespoon, roll the dough between your hands to form individual balls. Set
them aside on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with
the remaining dough.
To prepare
the chocolate fillet, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a
double broiler, stirring periodically to make sure that no lumps remain. Use a
spoon to drizzle the chocolate on each ball and sprinkle with the desired
garnish.
Refrigerate
for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate is set. Store bites in an airtight
container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Happy
Cooking Time.

your own oatmeal, add the oats to a high speed blender or food process and
process at high temperature until the oats look like fine flour.
