Recipe // No Bake Oatmeal Cookie Bites

Ingredients:

→ 1 ½ cups shredded coconut

→ 1 ½ cups rolled oats

→ ¼ cup raisins

→ ¼ cup chocolate chips

→ ½ cup almond butter

→ ½ cup maple syrup

→ ¼ cup hemp seeds

→ 1 vanilla bean

→ ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

→ Drain & press the tofu under a heavy bowl of fruit / books - or using a tofu press - for 15 minutes. Pat dry to remove excess liquid.

→ Meanwhile, make the chia eggs. Whisk your ground chia seeds with water in a bowl to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

→ Into a food processor, break apart the block of tofu into large chunks, and add them along with the spices & parsley. Pulse a few times, then blend for a minute to combine.

→ Remove the blades. Add in the flour, chia eggs, and oil. Mix with your hands - almost like kneading dough. Remove into a large bowl and form the meatballs.

→ Using a teaspoon’s worth, squeeze with your hand a few times, then roll into a ball. Place on sheet pan lined with parchment paper, or drop into an air fryer basket. Bake at 350 F (or 175 C) for 20 minutes, flipping/shaking halfway - until lightly browned and crispy.
