Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Dried figs
- 6 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Matcha powder (optional for green color)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Add the dried figs and pitted dates to a food processor. Pulse several times to break them into smaller pieces.
Add the chopped walnuts, rolled oats, chia seeds, matcha powder (if using), vanilla extract, and sea salt to the processor.
Blend the mixture until it forms a sticky, cohesive dough. If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until it comes together.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Transfer the bites to the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes (this helps them firm up).
Once chilled, store the 'Dried Frog Pills' in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
