Orange and ginger granola bites


 Orange and ginger granola bites

Ingredients 

1/4 cup                                                          Peanut butter 

1 tablespoon                                                Flax or chia seed

2 tablespoons                                              Orange juice 

The zest of one orange

2 teaspoons                                                   Freshly grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon dry)

1/4 cup                                                            Molasses 

1 cup                                                               Pecan, walnut or almond

1 cup                                                                Lightly salted pepitas or sun flower seed

1/4 teaspoon                                                   Turmeric (optional)

Few grind of black pepper and a pinch of salt

Directions 

Put one grate of the oven on the top and one on the bottom.

Preheat the oven at 350°F.

Make peanut butter by mixing peanut butter with zest, ginger, turmeric, salt and pepper. Mix 1 tablespoon of flax or chia seed and 2 tablespoons of orange juice in a little bowl and let rest 5 minutes.   Meanwhile gather the other ingredients then add them. Mix well and use the 1/4 cup to create bite size clusters or use mini muffins mold.

Cook 10 minutes on the bottom self of the oven and 10 minutes on the top one.  Let rest 5 minutes and enjoy. It is so satisfying,  just one is a breakfast for me.

This recipe was born because I was out of maple syrup, orange peel candies and ginger candies.  If you have all that, here's the original :

If you are interested in cooking healthy and have picky eaters in your family, visit my blog for more recipes. I make miracles with carrots and string beans for my fussy husband 😀.

* note : I think next time I'll use the juice of the orange instead of water and maybe the chopped pulp as well (I hate wasting fibers).  

** note : I'm sure whole almond would work too.
