- Rolled oats: Also known as old fashioned oats. Alternatively you could use quick oats.
- Chocolate chips: Dark, milk, or white.
Instructions
This biscoff bites recipe makes 24 bite sized biscoff bites.
Step One: In a small frying pan over low to medium heat toast the almonds until they are golden brown. Shake and stir the almonds when they cook. This way it will ensure even coloring.
Once cooked, turn off heat and transfer to a plate or bowl. Allow to cool completely.
Don’t leave your cooked almonds in the hot pan as they will continue to cook even when the heat is off.
When they are completely cool, chop the almonds into small pieces.
Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, place the biscoff spread, rolled oats, chocolate chips, and cooled almonds. Mix until well combined.
Step Three: Take a spoonful of the mixture and press it into a ball using your hands.
If you find that it is not holding it’s shape, add a small amount of water to the mixture and mix through.
Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the mixture becomes firmer. This will make it easier to handle the mixture when you shape it.
Step Four: Using a heaped tablespoon of mixture (about 21 grams, 0.74 ounces), shape it into 24 even sized balls.
Once shaped, serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.
