Last night I co-hosted a wellness workshop on behalf of C2 ONE Fit Labs and it went well. We had a great Q&A and a delightful recipe demo in which I prepared my favorite raw energy treats. Since I wanted to save serving time, I pre-made and set up the treats so they were readily available to eat right after the demo.
With the holidays coming up, I took my basic recipe for Raw Energy Treats and added just a little more sweetness (2 Tbsp of honey and doubled my usual chocolate chip portion from 1/4 to 1/2 cup), and finally dusted it off with coconut for a snow-appeal. I was a little more generous with each scoop and came out with 36 (as compared to 50). The original recipe is just slightly lower in calories because of the quantity of morsels vs the relatively minimal addition of sweeteners. The best part?: You can lick the bowl!
Snow Dusted Oat Treats:
- 1 1/2 cup of organic raw oats
- 1/2 cup of walnut halves
- 1/8 cup of hemp seeds
- 1/8 cup of flax meal
- 1/4 cup of almond butter
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, divided
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce sweetened with stevia
- 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp of cinnamon
- 4 soft pitted dates
- 2 Tbsp of honey
- 1/4-1/3 cup water (add slowly until reached desired consistency)
Process all dry ingredients in food processor leaving 1/4 cup of coconut flakes aside. Slowly add in water until mixture becomes a dough. Scoop out with a mini scoop (about the size of a round Tablespoon) and dust each treat with the remaining coconut. Serve raw, room temperature or bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. ENJOY!
