1 cup steel cut oats

1 cup walnuts

1 tsp coarse black pepper

1 tsp sea salt

1 tbs dry basil

Cover with parchment, and bake at 350 degrees for thirty-five minutes. Uncover, and flip the balls. finish baking for another ten minutes. Add to your favorite barbecue, marinara or Swedish sauce.

As prepared, makes 10, four wheatball servings. This can also be shaped as a loaf, and baked the same way: thirty-five minutes covered, ten uncovered. Ten slices, same caloric content. Now, mind you, this SOUNDS high in fat, but they're GOOD, nut-based fats. And, by the way, this recipe is Vegan-friendly.
