Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the chia seeds with water and let them sit for about 5 minutes to form a gel-like consistency.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, baking powder, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Add the chia seed mixture, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and garlic powder to the dry ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined, forming a dough.
Step 5
Using clean hands, form small, bite-sized balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bites are golden and crispy on the outside.
