Preparation

Step 1

Process first 2 ingredients in a food processor to fine crumbs; set aside.

In a large bowl combine dried fruit, sunflower seeds, coconut, cinnamon, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, and oats; combine well until mixture begins to stick together.

Using moist hands, form mixture into 1" balls, coat lightly with almond-oat crumbs, and place into an airtight container. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to allow oats to absorb moisture.

Serve bites with a cold glass of milk or morning coffee. Makes 36.
