Recipe: Tiger Bites (a take on the power ball)

Hey Steemers,

I'd like to share the recipe for a treat that I make all the time. I think about it as healthy cookie dough- it is sweet, but minimally processed and nutrient dense. There are a bunch of ways to modify the ingredients to entice different palettes.

My (rough) measurements
~ 2 cups rolled oats
~ 1 cup salted, crunchy almond butter
~ 2/3 cup maple syrup
~ 1 heafty pour of chia seeds
~ 1 generous scoop of coconut oil
~ 1 crack of sea salt
~ 1 tablespoon vanilla
~ 1 large pour of coconut flakes/shavings

The process
~ melt the almond butter and coconut oil for about 1 min. in the microwave
~ pour all ingredients into a bowl, mix well, and place in the freezer for several hours
~ once the mixture has solidified, form into balls of any size you desire
~ store in the fridge! they will lose their shape otherwise

Fun flavah substitutions
~ almond --> peanut butter; maple syrup --> honey
~ coconut oil --> ghee
~ add cinnamon, turmeric, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, ect.
~ add cacao or maca powder
~ chia --> flax seeds
~ maple syrup --> agave syrup

Each Tiger Bite contains healthy fats, plant- based protein, and yummy flavah. They satisfy our nutrient requirements and our sweet teeth- a winning combination :)
