No Bake Energy Bites
Report
No-bake energy bites are super easy to make and packed full of nutritional value. With a nutty chocolatey flavor, they strike the perfect salty sweet balance.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted almonds
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons chia seed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Add almonds to a food processor or high speed blender. Pulse until coarse. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until it forms a sort of “dough,” that is crumbly but sticky enough to be formed into a ball, scraping down the sides and under the blades as necessary.
- Remove from blender and shape into balls. If the mixture is sticky and difficult to work with you can wet your hands before working with it. *I like to use a medium-size cookie scoop to scoop the dough and then form it into a ball with my hands.
- Place energy balls onto baking sheet or other container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- A simple trick to avoid getting your hands messy is to use a small ice cream or cookie scoop to shape the energy balls. I used a medium cookie scoop to make a batch of 18.
- If your dough is sticky and difficult to shape, wet your hands before shaping.
- Make sure to put them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent them from spoiling. They can last up to 2 weeks in the fridge if stored properly!
- To prevent energy balls from sticking together when placed in the freezer, place them on a baking sheet, then freeze for an hour on the baking sheet. This will stop them from sticking together when you move them to a freezer-safe container to store.
