Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup shelled walnuts
- 1 cup rolled oats (for gluten free, be sure to purchase certified gluten free oats)
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup pitted dates
- 1/4 cup applesauce
Instructions
Directions:
- Add walnuts to a food processor and pulse a few times (until it reaches a loose crumb like consistency).
- Add oats, raisins, dates, and applesauce to walnuts in food processor, and process until everything is combined. (It only takes a short amount of time; you can tell it's done if you grab some of the mixture and it holds when rolled into a ball).
- Roll mixture into 10 balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for several days.
Notes
Note for Athletes - Sodium:
You can add salt to this recipe to boost your sodium intake during events. I recommend starting with 1/4 tsp per batch and giving it a taste. If you can add more from there, go for it.
