I'm it.

I was tagged by Blair, which is lovely because I'm quite behind in my posts.  But first, let me share a delicioso (and ridiculously easy) recipe that some sweet classmates shared with me, which I made for the first time this evening...

Almond-Oat Energy Bites

2 1/2 cups rolled oats, divided

1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds, divided (I didn't have any, and substituted walnuts)

1/2 cup raisins

2 Tbs. raw sunflower seeds

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 almond butter (peanut or cashew butter work, too)

1/3 cup plus 1 Tbs. honey (I used 1/4 cup)

2 Tbs. raw agave nectar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1. Grind 1/2 cup oats and 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds in food processor until powdery.  Transfer to medium bowl; set aside.

2. Combine remaining oats, remaining pumpkin seeds, raisins, sunflower seeds and cinnamon in large bowl.  Stir in remaining ingredients until soft dough forms. 

3. Moisten hands, and roll dough into 1-inch balls.  Coat balls in oat-pumpkin seed powder. Place in freezer 20 minutes to set, then serve or store in the fridge.
