Almond Butter Bites
If you need a little indulgence, these little bites are perfect. They are packed with protein and a little sweetness that makes for a perfect treat.
You can definitely substitute any nut or seed butter you have on hand. Try making your own by blending your nut or seed of choice in a food processor until it becomes creamy. Be patient, it takes a few minutes of blending.
The flour is flexible, so if you don’t have oat, you can use rice, sorghum or buckwheat.
Give these a try and let me know how much you love them.
