Apple Fig Oatmeal Bites

I keep making these and eating them all. Then making another batch, telling myself that I’ll remember to photograph them. And then I eat them all.

And this vicious, delicious cycle goes on and on.

SO, since I am too busy eating these all the time to snap a pic, I love the recipe too much not to share immediately. Thus, you’ll have to make them for yourself and just see. MAYBE you can get a glimpse of them to the left side of this picture at one of my demos recently, too.

1 cup rolled oats

5 dried figs, chopped

1/4 cup raw almonds

1/4 cup raw cashews

1/4 cup raisins

Dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves

10 medjool dates, pitted

2 small apples, peeled and chopped

1 tbsp chia seeds

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp pure vanilla

In a food processor, pulse figs, almonds, cashews, raisins, cinnamon,, ginger,, cloves and nutmeg until a sticky meal is formed
Add in oats and pulse until well combined
Remove from processor and pour into mixing bowl
Pulse dates, half the apples, cinnamon and vanilla in the processor until smooth
Stir date mix and remaining apples into oat/fig mixture and stir until well incorporated
Roll into golf ball sized bites and let sit in the fridge 15 minutes before serving
