No-Bake Breakfast Bites

Happy Saturday! Early post today since I've got some deliciousness going on in the kitchen this morning! =) 

No-Bake Breakfast Bites

These are great for breakfast-on-the-go, which, as covered before, is pretty much the only way I ever eat breakfast. 

Ingredients

2/3C raw almonds

2/3C raw walnuts

1C rolled oats

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8tsp salt (I usually skip the salt)

1/4C local honey, or raw agave nectar

2 tsp vanilla extract

5 Tbsp chocolate chips

Directions

Add almonds, walnuts, oaks, cinnamon and salt to food processor and blend until fine. 

 Add honey/agave nectar and vanilla extract.

Add chocolate chips. Blend until chocolate chips are chopped and blended in. 

Roll into 1 Tbsp balls; I use my fabulous Pampered Chef Small Scoop!

Store in air-tight container in fridge. 

Enjoy! =)

OR...here's a variation I've done before with dried fruit, peanut butter, coconut and flaxseeds...

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup peanut butter (can substitute favorite nut butter)
2/3 cup honey
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup ground flaxseed
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried organic cherries (can substitute favorite dried fruit)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Yummmm! In our house a batch of these usually makes enough to last about a week to two weeks, eating 1-2 of the bites per serving for breakfast and, occasionally, snacks.
