My Cousin's Favorite HEALTHY Thing

And I do mean HEALTHY.  Almost RIDICULOUSLY healthy.  This recipe comes from my cousins Lyndie and Allison in Maryland, and though I haven't had a chance to try it yet, they gave rave reviews. 

RAW COOKIE DOUGH BITES

2/3 cup of raw almonds
2/3 cup of raw walnuts
2/3 cup of rolled oats (or raw oat flakes, if you wish)
1/4 tsp. of ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. of sea salt
1/4 cup of raw agave nectar
2 tsps. vanilla extract
3 tbsps. of dark chocolate chips

In a food processor, process the almonds, walnuts, oats, cinnamon, and salt to a fine meal.  Add the agave nectar and vanilla and process to combine.  Add the chocolate chips and pulse briefly to combine.  Roll the dough into balls (about 1 tbsp. each) and place them on a cookie pan lined with parchment paper.  Freeze for about an hour to firm up.  Store balls in a tightly covered container in the freezer.

If you try this recipe, be sure to send me your review.  Thanks, Lyndie and Allison!
