These wholesome breakfast energy bites are a delightful way to start your day, packed with fiber, protein, and natural sweetness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even baking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, toasted wheat germ, and ground cinnamon.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of flavors.
In another bowl, whisk together the plain nonfat yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, natural honey, and the large egg until smooth.
Ensure the wet ingredients are well combined for a consistent batter.
Add the baking powder and baking soda to the wet mixture and stir well.
Adding leavening agents to the wet mix helps them activate properly.
Gradually incorporate the dry mix into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
Fold in the plump raisins gently.
Folding prevents the raisins from breaking apart.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Using a cookie scoop ensures uniform sizes for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Check for doneness by lightly pressing the top; it should spring back.
Allow the bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps them set and prevents breaking.
