This is one of my favorite healthier dessert recipes. I can’t for the life of me remember where I got it (I think it may have been on Whole Foods’ webpage…), but I’ve made it several times, and it sure is easy and satisfying. Plus, it’s a relatively guilt-free treat.
Cocoa Oat Truffles:

Pinch of Ground Nutmeg
Pinch of Ground Cinnamon

Place oats in a food processor until finely ground.
