A sugar free, dairy free and gluten free Paleo snack / treat.
Although they are a healthy snack, it would be something that I would have as a treat (once or twice a year) and after a heavy workout. Also, if you are going to have a cake then better to make your own version and know the ingredients.
I have used minimal ingredients and there is no baking involved. I have used almonds, walnuts and cashew nuts but you can use whatever nuts you like – just no peanuts.
Total Time: 12 Mins
Makes 12-15 small bites
