New Recipe!
These nut and fruit snacks are really versatile and handy to have in your freezer.
I have been snacking on them for a while now and have also made several versions.
So, I am going to give you the template, and you personalize them!
You can make a double batch all at once. This recipe easily does that, or make a couple different variations. I find kids really like the ones with peanut butter and raisins.
Freezer Nut and Fruit Bites
1 Cup of Nuts of choice
1/4 Cup of Dried Fruit of Choice (if you are using larger dried fruit, make sure to dice it first)
1/4 Cup of Nut or Seed Butter
1 Tablespoon of Collagen (I use this brand)
1/4 Teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract
1/8 Teaspoon of Sea Salt
1/8 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
1/8 Teaspoon of Pure Monk Fruit (optional but adds a little more sweetness)
Directions:
In a food processor, pulse your nuts and fruit until chopped evenly. Then, add the remaining ingredients and blend until the mixture holds together when you squeeze it.
Pour the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, and form it into a rectangle about an inch thick. Place the rectangle of bites onto a cookie sheet with the parchment, still in one piece, and freeze for an hour. Remove it from the freezer, and with a large sharp knife, cut it into squares.
Store the Nut and Fruit Bites in a sealed container in your freezer for as needed. Pop them in when you want a quick and healthy snack.
That’s it. Super easy and you will want to make them again and again.
I’ve made these with walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia and a large variety of different nut and seed butters including tahini. Make them nut free by using sunflower seed butter or tahini and sunflower or pumpkin seeds in place of the nuts.
