I used almond butter instead of peanut butter because I prefer the taste of almond butter with raisins. But if you would rather, you can substitute the almond butter for peanut butter or any other nut based butter. To sweeten the bites without sugar, agave nectar or maple syrup is added. To help them keep there shape, ground flax seed and equal parts water are used to create a vegan egg substitute. Old-fashioned oats is mixed with the almond butter, ground flax seed, agave nectar, cinnamon and raisins in a large bowl. To form the mixture into balls, I found the easiest way to do this is to use a large cookie scoop and to place the balls onto plates. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the bites are set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
