Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup raisins
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and ground cinnamon, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spice.
- Add the unsweetened applesauce to the almond flour mixture, mixing until a consistent, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Pour in the maple syrup, stirring gently to incorporate and create a smooth, sweet binding for the mixture.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins, distributing them evenly throughout the dough to ensure each bite will have a balanced flavor and texture.
- Line a baking sheet or flat tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into compact, round balls approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Place each formed bite onto the prepared parchment-lined surface, leaving a small space between each one.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up and allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, you can optionally dust the bites with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for enhanced flavor and presentation.
- Store the completed bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients - the better your almond flour and applesauce, the more delicious your bites will be.
- Make sure to refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to help them set and develop a perfect texture.
- For extra flavor complexity, try toasting the walnuts lightly before chopping and adding them to the mixture.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more almond flour; if too dry, incorporate a little more applesauce.
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform-sized bites that look professionally made.
- Get creative with optional add-ins like shredded coconut or a dash of nutmeg for variety.
- These bites are freezer-friendly - store them in a sealed container for up to a month for a quick, healthy treat.
