NO-BAKE Carob Oaty Bites
November 6, 2017
: Made 10 balls
: 5 min
: 30 min
: 35 min
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2x tbsp almond butter
- 1x tbsp carob powder (you can purchase from your local health food store)
- 3 tbsp of water
- 9x seedless dates (Prep: soak the dates in hot water until soft, then drain out the water) OR alternatively 2x heap tablespoons of 'date paste'
Directions
- Step 1 Combine all ingredients in a blender for 1-2minutes (until mixture is wet enough to mold into balls… if too wet just as more oats!)
- Step 2 Roll each ball to the size you want (using wet hands – makes it easier to roll), then lightly coat/roll each ball in oats or dessicated coconut if you prefer.
- Step 3 Place balls into an airtight container and place in the fridge for 30min to set.
- Step 4 You can also freeze these balls (which I prefer so they last longer). To defrost: take the frozen balls out of the freezer and leave on the kitchen bench for 30 minutes. Enjoy this delicious recipe!
Have you tried using prunes or dried cranberries instead of dates? Could they work?
I guess I should do the exact recipe the first time and then start experimenting 😀
Prunes should work! Cranberries may also work but the flavour will be different x let us know how u go
Hi, I have dark chocolate cocoa powder snd regular cocoa powder would that work? Why did you choose to use carob?
yes it would work. Carob has no caffeine and is a healthier alternative to cocoa.
