These little gems are lifesavers! Has this ever happened to you? You are busy working around the house, running errands, or it's just not time for dinner, but you want something small to eat? This happens to me a lot, and I always grab a snack that isn't the healthiest, or I eat something that is so filling that I can't eat my next meal.
Power Bites are perfect anytime you need an energy boost. Pack them in your child's lunch, and bring them along on your next bike ride or when you go hiking.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups organic cannelloni beans
1/3 c organic chunky peanut butter
1/4 c Bee Free Honee
1/4 cup organic applesauce
1/3 c organic cocoa
1 t organic pure chocolate extract or organic pure vanilla extract
1/2 t organic cinnamon
1 c organic quick oates
1/2 c organic whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 c vegan mini chocolate chips
In a food processor, combine the beans, peanut butter, Bee Free Honee, applesauce, cocoa, extract, and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl, add oats, flour, and mini chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly.
In a 8x8 pan lined with unbleached parchment paper, spread the batter so it's even throughout. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Let Power Bites cool, remove from pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into bite sized pieces and store in an air-tight container.
