Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz fat free cream cheese
  • ½ cup honey 168g
  • 1 and ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 and ⅓ cups of whole wheat pastry flour 120g
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • All of the leftover almond meal after making almond milk

Instructions
 

Almond Milk Take

  • I took my hand at another batch of almond milk. I made it the same as I did the first time but changed my filtration technique just slightly. I still soaked overnight and blended 1 cup almonds with 3 cups of water.
    1 and ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • Once I blended the milk I set up the same filtration system as before, only this time I added a layer. Draping an old clean baby towel over my strainer. I then poured the milk into the towel (in small batches.)
  • Once all the milk was out of the blender I gathered the towel squeezed the milk. To my surprise it worked perfectly! I opened the towel to reveal all the almond meal.

Honey Almond Bites

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat the cream cheese, honey and almond extract until smooth. You will still see some white spots but it will be liquidy.
    2 oz fat free cream cheese, ½ cup honey, pinch of salt
  • Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into the honey mixture. Stir until well blended. Add the almond meal and mix in with a spatula until well blended.

  • Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop out ½ tbsp's of the dough and roll into small balls (~54). The dough will be sticky, it may help to put it in the fridge for a few minutes first.
  • Place the on the cooking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Immediate remove from cookie sheet and eat. I'm only kidding, that's just what I did. 🙂
