Serves: 20 bites
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup rolled oats
  • 2 generous tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt (if you use kosher, use a little less than ¼ tsp)
  • ⅔ cup cashew butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a blender or food processor, add the oats, chocolate chips, cocoa powder and sea salt. Pulse until the oats and chocolate chips have been broken down. If you like your bites chunkier, pulse less! If you want things finer, pulse more! I go for a coarsely ground mixture.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients with the cashew butter, syrup and vanilla in a mixing bowl, stirring to combine thoroughly.
  3. Form bites into 1 tablespoon sized balls, place on a cookie sheet, and flatten them out with wet fingers so you have nice thick discs. Refrigerate until firm and store in the refrigerator.
