Oat Bites

I found these Oat Bites on the Kristin Cavallari app that I have (yes, I am a huge fan of her... She "get's it", you know?). Anywho, I decided to give them a crack, and I am pleasantly surprised that they taste bloody amazing! And there are so many possibilities to make them healthier, or not so healthy (....chocolate and alcohol, anyone?)

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats

2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1/2 cup cashew butter

1/2 cup chia seeds

1/2 cup cocoa nibs

3 tablespoon coconut oil, softened

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder

Directions:

1. Mix everything together in a medium bowl. 

2. Chill for 45 minutes.

3. Roll the mixture into balls and enjoy!

4. Store them in the fridge.

I bought the white chia seeds... only because the supermarket was sold out of the black chia seeds. I did have to hunt around for a whole foods store that sold cocoa nibs. And I substituted the vanilla powder for vanilla extract, because I had that in my cupboard. Next time I make these, I think I will make my own vanilla powder.

Let me know what you think of these!
