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.
