tasty energy bites

I love to cook in my kitchen. But, sometimes, the the oven heats things up a bit too much. That old saying, "If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen" should actually go something more like "If you cant handle the heat, make a raw vegan treat" 
'Cause that is what I did.
These lil' balls pack a powerful flavor. I think they taste like apple pie. Luckily these are much more healthy than grandma's warm apple pie. You will not be able to eat just one, nor should you have to.

Ingredients:
1c. Oats 
2tbs flax
1/2c  nut butter -I used almond
1 Fuji Apple -finely chopped
1/4c  Agave nectar
1tbs Cinnamon
1/2tbs apple pie spice
1/8-1/4c almond milk 

Grab a bowl, mix all ingredients.Gradually add the milk, only enough to moisten yet still maintain a thick batter. Use an ice cream scooper to ball these treats up, give em one good roll between the palms and place them onto a mini cupcake wrapper or right onto a plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 min to harden slightly. 

**So many variations you could make with these 
chocolate peanutbutter
coconut almond
honey banana 
sunflower rasin
...
use any kind of nut butter, any kind of non dairy milk and your favorite spice and you, my dear, have yourself a mighty treat. 

Made with love, 
Emily
