With simple ingredients and an easy assembly, these fall inspired bites are a great snack that don’t carry any extra baggage.
Base Ingredients:
- 40g Raw Cashews
- 40g Raw Walnuts
- 80g Pitted Dates
- 3/4 cup Rolled Oats
- 2 tbsp. Pumpkin Puree
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon

- a dash or two of Nutmeg
Topping:
- 2 tbsp. Rolled Oats
- Cinnamon, for dusting
Supplies:
- Food Processor
- Waxed or Parchment Paper
Method:
Place all the base ingredients into a food processor & run constantly until a ball forms and cleans the sides of the bowl.
Slightly moisten your hands and transfer the dough to the parchment/waxed paper. Do your best to shape into a 4 x 7 inch rectangle.
Sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon on top of the dough and then cover with the 2 tablespoons of oats. Slightly press the oats into place.
Wrap in parchment or waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Once firm, cut into 15 even squares & store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Yum yum yum! I really want to make these soon. Next weekend before I go home?
