Chestnut flour? That sounds soooo complicated, you might think. Guys, trust me.
- If you can’t get your hands on it, do not worry. In this recipe it can easily be substituted for any nut flour of choice or oat flour. It is worth seeking out, but not vital.
- It is not more complicated than any other flour. I just adore the taste of it as it is sweet, nutty yet not overly “fatty” or decadent.
Anyhow, these cuties are the ultimate snack, especially on the go or after a workout, at least in my opinion. They’re jam-packed with contrasting textures, which is in my opinion vital for a good raw bar/bite/ball. Also, you can easily adjust the ingredients to your preference.
As simple as that. Enjoy!
