Brianiac Bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 1/2 cup gluten free quick oats
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
Directions
Place walnuts in a food processor. Process until the walnuts resemble the consistency of peanut butter. Add the remaining ingredients into the food processor (oats, flaxseed, raisins, shredded coconut, honey, cinnamon, and salt). Process until all ingredients are fully incorporated and dough feels moist and sticky, approximately 60-90 seconds.
Using your hands or a small 1” cookie dough baller, form dough into small 1” round balls. Optional: Roll balls in shredded coconut before storing. Balanced Brain Bites will store in the fridge for up to one week, or freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw for 30 minutes before eating.
