Chocolate and cinnamon bites

From time to time we want a small snack, but cookies or other sweets are not always a very good alternative. So I looked into it and wanted to test the #healthy bites. Here is a first recipe that I totally approve : the chocolate and cinnamon bites! Cinnamon brings an extra taste, if you don’t like it, don’t add it to your preparation.

Did you know that cinnamon is an excellent product? its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties are well known but it also helps to lower blood sugar levels (half a teaspoon of cinnamon during a meal would be enough to lower blood sugar levels by about 25%).

For about 10 bites:

• 1/2 cup / 70g cashews
• 1/2 cup / 65g oats
• 1/4 cup / 50g grated chocolate
• 1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
• 4-5 dates
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp almond milk (even more depending on the consistency of the preparation)

Preparation of the chocolate & cinnamon bites:

Mix all the ingredients in a blender until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. If the 2 tablespoons of almond milk are not enough, add a little bit to the preparation. On the other hand, if the mixture seems too “pasty” to you, add a little more oatmeal and remix.

When the blend seems to have a good consistency, take a tablespoon and form balls with your hands.

Once finished, put them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips :

1/ You can freeze the bites without any problem and take them out when you need them 🙂

2/ If you don’t have time to make balls, use a baking sheet covered with baking paper and spread the dough. Refrigerate until the dough has hardened and then cut squares with a knife or use a cookie cutter.

The chocolate and cinnamon bites are quick and easy recipe, perfect for everyone’s munchies!
