Author Notes

OAT-BALLS CAN BE A GREAT TREAT OR SNACK ON THE GO.
They can also be made into flat cookies or square bars. This is a gluten-free and vegan recipe. —Jeanette Bronée, Path for Life

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup hazelnut flour
  • 1 cup amaranth flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats, choose gluten free if you are celiac
  • 1/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2 pinches sea-salt
  • 1/3 cup un-toasted sesame oil or safflower oil
  • 1/2 cup 100% maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • optional: add some chunks of baking chocolate, dried fruit, or shredded coconut
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  2. Blend all the dry ingredients in a bowl, add the wet and mix it all up.
  3. Make balls by rolling them in your hand, about the size shown in the picture (2 ounces) and either keep them that way or flatten them out to really look like a cookie.
  4. Bake for about 15 min.
  5. Enjoy one with nice cup of green tea or bring one along for a treat on the go.

If they are baked as balls, do they stay soft and raw (like other energy oat balls? How long do they keep for?

Hi Melissa

if you bake them they are not longer raw - you can leave them raw but in the summer they need to stay in the fridge and I would omit the baking powder. To stay fresh they would only last a couple of days - up to a week unless you keep them in a sealed container.
