 1 tsp cinnamon
 1 pinch salt
 ½ cup canola oil
 ½ cup maple syrup
 8 tbsp raspberry jam

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place almonds in a food processor and grind into a fine powder. Make sure not to over blend, or it will turn into almond butter.

Transfer to a mixing bowl. Then use the food processor to grind the oats into a coarse flour. Combine the oat flour with the cinnamon, salt, almond, and whole wheat flour.

4

Whip the oil and maple syrup together, then add to the almond-oat flour and mix well. Form into walnut sized balls and place on an oiled cookie sheet. Use your thumb to press down on the center of each ball to make ½-inch indents.
