Spiced Zucchini Oatmeal Bites Recipe

  16 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup Flax Seed
  • 1 cup Finely Grated Zucchini, patted dry very well

Directions

  1. Heat the coconut oil and honey in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or until melted. Whisk in the vanilla.
  2. Stir together the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flax seeds in a large bowl. Pour the melted honey and oil over it and stir until everything is coated.
  3. Add the zucchini and mix in gently. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes. Remove and stir again as the oil and honey will drop to the bottom of the bowl.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to remove the oat mixture.  Press the mixture very firmly in your hands to create balls. The mixture will be very sticky, but if you press it very hard in your hands it will form balls that stay together.
  5. Place the balls in the refrigerator so they can set up completely. 

 

Notes

  • You can also press the mixture very firmly into an 8x8 pan. Once the mixture is set, cut into 16 squares.
