Gingerbread Bliss Balls

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
6 tsp pumpkin spice (OR use recipe below)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup almond or cashew butter
1/4 cup molasses

Pumpkin Spice
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp all-spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp clove

Method

  1. In a food processor, blend oats, pumpkin spice and salt until oats are the size of coarse sand.
  2. Add almond cashew butter and molasses, and pulse until mixture comes together completely.
  3. Roll mixture into balls.
  4. Place in the fridge to firm up and allow flavours to develop. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Notes:

  1. If you do not have pumpkin spice, you can use 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp clove
  2. Blend the oats to your preferred texture. You may like blending the oats only a bit and having a chunkier texture to the balls, or you may want the oats completely blended for a smooth, doughy texture.
  3. If mixture isn’t sticky enough to roll into balls, add a touch of honey, almond cashew butter, or water and blend until mixture can be rolled without crumbling.
  4. Bliss balls can also be placed in the freezer, then put into you lunch bag in the morning for the perfect snack at work or school.
