These are delicious. They freeze really well and even taste great still partly frozen if you can’t wait. I like to use roasted cacao nibs instead of vegan chocolate chips. The zest and nutmeg really elevate these snackles!
A new favorite!! I used orange zest, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. Yum! Yum! Yum! Gonna make a double batch next time.
???… What are the nutritional values, per Each mound (8 mounds per batch). I’m primarily concentrating on: protein, carbs, fiber, sugar.
This Snackles are perfect for the “on the run” energy and vitality !
Super happy to have found this recipe! Not too sweet and easy to put together. The other comments are true: the orange zest (I bet lemon is good too – I only had oranges) + the nutmeg really pops!! I substituted flax seeds for the hemp and I didn’t have any raisins so I just chopped up some medjool dates. Yummy yummy!
The recipe came out great. I am always looking for a good healthy cookie recipe made with oats and little fat and sugar and not too many ingrediants. This has a good texture to it and tastes great as well. Not too sweet. And I love that you can add different flavors to it with the orange zest / lemon zest and I have even added a tablespoon of peanut butter. This will definitely be my go to recipe for cookies.
I’m so excited to try these…:-)
I have both orange zest & cinnamon (stick as well as powder) so I guess I’ll use both the ingredients.
Just wanted to ask – from all the reviews I read down, what are craisins ?
Craisins are dried cranberries
These are satisfying and delicious. I used more orange zest than written because I love the flavor of orange. When I make the fudgie black bean brownies again, I think I’ll add some orange zest to those too!
My kids and I love these. Use both the zest and the nutmeg, you will not be disappointed! I make these during the holidays with orange zest, craisins, and pecans/walnuts. Everyone loves them.
These are the only dessert my husband likes. I’ve tried others, like Chef AJ’s oatmeal-fruit bars, and FOK black bean brownies (which I loved), and he only wants snackles. I make them without hemp seeds or any zest, and definitely the raisins and the vegan chocolate chips are what make them. Yum.
I love, Love, LOVE these! Some of my all time favorite cookies. I double the recipe and where it states “use this or this,” I use both, and I substitute craisins for the raisins! The flavors are outstanding and these little yum bombs are easily portable for snacks on the go whether it’s a nature hike or dashing to the office. They make he smile.
