Coconut Oatmeal Bites

Hello my lovely friends, today I have a very new and exciting recipe to share with you. I have been so incredibly busy lately, and have only recently been playing around with my baking skills again. This recipe is super easy, quick to whip up, and if I must say so myself very delightful. I tried to incorporate on hand and simple ingredients, that require very little utensils. I whipped up a batch in under twenty minutes, prancing around my kitchen listening to Frank Sinatra. Nothing fancy needed here, just some good old spirit and a craving for something sweet and delicious. So without further adieu, lets get into it.

Dry Ingredients: 

1/2 C All Purpose Flour

1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour ( Or use 1 C of either of your choosing, if you’d prefer)

1 tsp Cocoa ( If you’re a chocolate lover like myself)

Wet Ingredients:

1/3 C Olive Oil

2/3 C Brown Sugar

1 Large Egg ( at room temperature)

1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

1/2 C Organic Rolled Oats

1 C Organic Coconut Flakes ( *note: it does not have to be organic)

Step one) Sift and combine all of your dry ingredients into a medium size bowl.

Step two) Add in your oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla essence to the same bowl from step one, and stir well until combined.

Step three) Once you have your mixture combined, stir in cocoa, rolled oats, and your coconut flakes, and gently fold it in.

In general your mixture should be quite sticky, but not hard. Once you’re all set, roll your bites out onto your preferred baking sheet , and bake at 350° for 14 minutes. Usually, depending on how big or small you make your bites, you should end up with about 18 to 21 pieces. I prefer to enjoy these tasty treats with a glass of almond milk, or a cup of coffee, usually as a snack or sometimes even for breakfast, oops…

Okay my lovely friends, I hope if you have some time to spare you give this recipe a go. I promise it’s super simple, easy and it definitely doesn’t let down in the taste department. Enjoy and take care,
