Snack of the Day: Almond Oat Balls Recipe

April 5, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Snack Recipes at 8:12 am | (4) Comments »

Well, folks, I’m sorry I flaked on you yesterday but it couldn’t be helped. Apparently it was in the cards that I have a little wreck, so I had to take care of all those issues.

But the important thing is that I’m back & it’s snack recipe time. On the menu today we have a delicious Almond Oat Balls Recipe that is sure to take care of that rumbly in your tumbly. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

3 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. pepitas (pumpkin seeds), raw
1/2 c. raisins
1/4 c. raw sunflower seeds
1.5 t. cinnamon
3/4 c. almond butter (you can get away with only 1/2 c.)
1/3 c. + 1T. brown rice syrup
2 T. barley malt syrup
1.5 t. vanilla
1/4 c. coconut, shredded

What’s Next:

Take about 1/3c. rolled oats and 1/4c. pepitas and grind them in a food processor, blender, or use a hammer to turn into a powder. Set aside on a small plate.

Combine dry ingredients. Stir. Add from almond butter down to the end of the list. Stir it all together. Grab a shallow bowl and fill with water. Wet fingers and palms and spoon batterfuls into hands and form 1-inch balls. Coat with oat/pepita powdery mixture. Place on cookie sheet and freeze 20 minutes. Take out and store in the fridge & share!

Eat well & Laugh often!

Oh no! I am sorry you were in an accident. Hope all is well and everyone/thing walked away without any/many scratches.

These look great. 2 questions – (1) do you make or buy the almond butter and (2) what is brown rice syrup? Is it something you get at the grocery story or a specialty shop?

Chris,

Thanks for the concerns. Everyone well, just a little sore still.

I usually buy the almond butter myself, but here is a link I found for a quick & easy recipe: http://www.mrbreakfast.com/superdisplay.asp?recipeid=1361

On the brown rice syrup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_rice_syrup) is something I pick up at Wild Oats or some kind of local specialty store.

Hope this was helpful & hope things are well in Georgia!
