Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 10 Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the Medjool dates and almond butter. Pulse until they form a smooth paste.
Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, chopped walnuts, coconut flakes, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it becomes a cohesive dough that holds together when pressed.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.
Place the finished bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the mixture has been formed into bites, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
