Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for wholesome trail mix bites:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond butter or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
- 1/4 cup dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or cocoa nibs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips or cocoa nibs (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a little more nut butter or honey/maple syrup to help bind everything together.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the mixture into bite-sized balls. Roll each ball between your palms until smooth and compact.
- Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Chill the trail mix bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- Once chilled, the trail mix bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
