Energy Bites (Vegan)
Supplies
- Blender OR food processor
Ingredients
- 10 organic dried apricots, chopped*
- 2-3 tablespoons purified OR distilled water
- 5 organic dates, chopped**
- ½ cup sprouted organic gluten-free sprouted quick oats
- 2 tablespoons organic flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons organic unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons organic unsweetened nut butter
- Small handful of organic dried cranberries, chopped
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer the apricots and water until mushy. You may have to add more water to reach the right consistency. Add the apricots and dates to a blender or food processor and blend until pureed.
- Place the puree, oats, flaxseed meal, coconut, and nut butter in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. Fold in the chopped cranberries.
- Roll the mixture into bite-size balls and refrigerate.
Notes
*When purchasing dried apricots, ensure they are unsweetened and sulphite/preservative free. Some brands will use organic unsweetened apple juice to keep the fruit pliable; that is acceptable.
**Our favorite dates are Medjool dates that contain pits. We remove the pits ourselves and don’t mind doing so, because the flavor is better!
