Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped dried apricots, chia seeds, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Gradually pour the soy milk into the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. The chia seeds will help bind the mixture and provide a nice texture.
  4. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes. This will give the chia seeds time to absorb some liquid and thicken the batter.
  5. Once the mixture has thickened, use your hands to form small bite-sized balls, about 3-4 cm in diameter. Place each ball onto the lined baking tray, spacing them about 2-3 cm apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the bites cool on a wire rack before serving.
