No-Bake Oats and Seeds Energy Bites


Ingredients
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats flour*
  • 1/4 cup golden flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup  pumpkin and sunflower seed mix
  • 1/4 cup  almond butter
  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 5 tbsp unsulphured molasses
  • 3 tbsp natural cocoa
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 medjool dates , pitted
Instructions

  1. For the Oats flour: Dry roast 1-1/4 cup old fashioned oats until light brown and fragrant. when cooled, pulse to a fine flour to get 1 cup roasted oats flour.

  2. Add dates to the pre-roasted oats flour and pulse a few times in a small mixer grinder or food processor till dates are finely ground and mixed with the oats flour. Remove to a large mixing bowl.

  3. Next, pulse golden flax seeds to a fine meal. Add to the mixing bowl. Repeat with the pumpkin, sunflower and hemp hearts. Hemp hearts turn into butter sooner. So, pulse carefully.
  4. Add almond butter, ground cinnamon, cocoa and vanilla extract. Mix well breaking any lumps with a fork. Drizzle in molasses and mix. The mixture will be lumpy. Knead just enough to form a soft dough. Place on a parchment paper and roll to desired thickness. Sift some natural cocoa all over and cut into squares using a serrated knife.
  5. Refrigerate in an airtight box and consume within a week.
Notes

1/4 cup of almonds can be substituted for the almond butter.
Pulse in a small jar grinder to a meal and proceed with the recipe.

If you don't have molasses, use dates (about 6-8 in all) or date syrup or honey (about 3 tbsp, as it is sweeter than molasses) and adjust as per taste before kneading.
