1. If using rolled oats, toast in a dry saute pan until lightly browned. Place granola/oats, nuts, flax, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a food processor. Pulse until a fine mixture forms.
2. Add applesauce and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup. Pulse until the dough starts coming together and able to form balls.
3. If the mixture is too dry, add more maple syrup until it comes together. Measure out with a tablespoon and form into balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar. Keep refrigerated.
I was wanting a healthier dessert that wasn't too sweet, and it turned out pretty well! If you're wanting them to be sweeter, substitute some or all of the applesauce with maple syrup, agave, or any liquid sweetener.
