Mixed Fruit and Nut Energy Bites
Description
Mixed Fruit and Nut Energy Bites are made by processing raw almonds and dried apricots into coarse crumbs before incorporating dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt for a finer crumb. The mixture is hand-formed into balls and rolled in shredded coconut for coating.
The texture is chewy from the dried fruit and nuts, with a pleasant crunch from the pumpkin seeds. Cinnamon infuses warmth, and salt balances the sweetness. These energy bites offer a wholesome snack of combined natural ingredients without added sugars or flours.
They work well as a grab-and-go snack or to boost energy between meals. The coconut coating adds an extra layer of flavor and helps keep the bites from sticking to surfaces and fingers.
