Almond Chocolate Chip Bites

I love having a healthy, sweet snack for my son when he gets home from school. These are his favorite, and they are so easy and quick to make, I make sure they are warm coming out of the oven around the time he gets home. Add a cold glass of dark almond chocolate milk, and you’ve got a mid-afternoon feast!

Makes: 12-15 bites
Ready in: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1½ cups almond meal
• 3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 cup mini chocolate chips – I used Gluten, Dairy and Soy Free chips

1. Preheat oven to 300ºF (150ºC).
2. Combine almond meal, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a big bowl.
3. Mix and form into a dough.
