Key Lime Pie Energy Bites

These energy bites combine chopped almonds, dates, walnuts or pecans, shredded coconut, and fresh lime zest and juice into small, bite-sized balls. The mixture mimics a cookie dough-like texture that is rolled and coated with coconut, giving a refreshing citrus twist reminiscent of key lime pie. They offer a portable and naturally sweet snack option with a tropical flavor accent.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond raw unsalted
  • 1 cup dates unsweetened, pitted
  • ¼ cup walnuts or pecans, for baking
  • ⅓ cup coconut plus extra for topping, shredded, unsweetened
  • lime zest of 1
  • 1/4-1/3 up lime juice (approx. 2 limes)
  • ⅛ tsp salt
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
  • 1-2 TBSP honey if desired, or maple syrup, to sweeten
  • lime if desired, extra zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First add your almonds to a food processor
  2. Pulse a few times until roughly chopped.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and blend/pulse to form a cookie dough-like consistency. You may need to push the mixture off the sides of the processor and towards the blades once or twice depending on your processor.
  4. Blend to desired texture [I like them a little bit chunky] and move mixture to a cutting board. If it's too sticky to handle, feel free rub a little coconut oil on yours hands while you roll your energy bites.
  5. Roll into bite-sized balls, then roll in shredded coconut for a burst of tropical goodness!

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice if key limes are unavailable to achieve authentic flavor.
  • The recipe typically yields 10-12 energy bites, though portions can vary if sampling the mixture during preparation.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer preservation.
  • Enjoy the energy bites chilled or brought to room temperature according to preference.
