In a food processor, pulse the pecans until they are roughly chopped. Be careful not to over-process them into a paste.
~2 min - 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
~3 min - 3
Stir all the ingredients together until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be moist enough to hold its shape.
~2 min - 4
Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more applesauce; if too wet, add a few more oats.
~5 min - 5
Place the oat bites on a plate or parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to allow them to firm up.
