Here’s a kid approved super easy health snack I created this week. I love making nut-butter snacks because they’re easily transportable, filling, and relatively mess free. It’s also great to see my two year old daughter excited about eating nuts and seeds which contain so many important nutrients. Both flax and sunflower seeds are a good source of protein, calcium, iron and fiber. Also great with a banana for breakfast on the run!
Cardamom Almond Butter Snack Bites
½ cup sunflower seeds (roasted, unsalted)
½ cup oats
¼ cup flax meal (ground flax seeds)
½ t. ground cardamom
¼ t. cinnamon
2 ½ T. pure maple syrup
½ cup almond butter
Combine all ingredients in medium sized bowl and mix well. Pour out batter onto plastic wrap, form log about 12” long, wrap all sides and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and slice into ½” pieces, or to desired size. Store in refrigerator.
