Oats, Coconut, and Almond Bites – A Vegan Cookie Recipe!

Craving something sweet, but want to nourish your body at the same time? The Oats, Coconut, and Almond Bites are a guilt-free treat that caters to both your cravings and health needs. With oats as a fiber powerhouse, they help regulate digestion and provide long-lasting energy. Coconut, rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), offers anti-inflammatory properties, while almonds provide healthy fats and protein that support muscle function and brain health. These bites are naturally vegan and lactose-free, making them perfect for those with dietary restrictions, without compromising on flavor or texture. Easy to make and packed with wholesome goodness, these treats are a delicious way to fuel your day and satisfy your sweet tooth.

Serves: 15-20 mini bites.

Preparation Time:15 minutes           

Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup steel-cut oats
½  cup shredded unsweetened coconut
½ cup almond butter
¼  cup raw honey or maple syrup
¼  cup chopped almonds
¼  cup chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

Method 

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine steel-cut oats, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and chia seeds. Mix thoroughly.
2. Add almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the dry mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Take a tbsp-sized portion of the mixture and roll it into a bite-sized ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
4. Place the bites on a tray or plate and let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up.

Notes:

The combination of oats, almonds, and coconut provides a balanced source of fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, protein, and MCTs important for muscle repair and overall cellular function.

You Care Tip

Steel cut oats are minimally processed, making them a more nutritious option compared to rolled oats. The minimal processing helps retain the oat’s natural fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. As a result, steel cut oats provide a more nutrient-dense meal, contributing to better overall health.
