Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and mist a 24 count mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place 1 cup of the oats into a food processor and pulse until they are finely processed.

  4. Pour in the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Pulse just until everything is combined.
Baking

Notes

Store the bites in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days or freeze them for later use. Make sure to pulse the oats finely to help bind the mixture together. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey, and feel free to substitute with similar seeds or fruits.
