Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by finely dicing fresh peaches into small, uniform cubes. If using frozen peaches, ensure they are thawed and well-drained to prevent excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, and ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond butter and honey together for 20-30 seconds. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and well-blended.
- Pour the warm almond butter and honey mixture over the dry oat ingredients. Stir carefully to coat all ingredients evenly, creating a cohesive mixture.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches, being careful not to crush the fruit pieces. Ensure the peaches are distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up and become easier to shape.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into compact, bite-sized balls approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For best results, refrigerate the bites for an additional 30 minutes to help them set.
- Store the Peach Almond Oatmeal Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
Tips
- Peach Perfection: Use ripe, fresh peaches for the most intense flavor. If fresh aren't available, well-drained frozen peaches work great.
- Texture Matters: Chill the mixture before forming balls to make shaping easier and help them hold together perfectly.
- Customization Options: - Swap almond butter with peanut butter for a different flavor profile - Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra nutrition - Drizzle with dark chocolate for a decadent twist
- Storage Hack: These bites freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Pro tip: Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Meal Prep Magic: Make a double batch and have healthy snacks ready for the entire week. They're perfect for post-workout energy or mid-afternoon pick-me-ups.
- Binding Tip: If your mixture seems too dry, add a little more honey or almond butter to help the bites hold their shape.
