Description

This energy bite is different than the others. It’s a little bit sweet and a little savory. It’s a snack that tastes like dessert!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats, gluten free
  • 1/3 cup sunflower butter
  • 1/3 cup Turkish figs, diced in small pieces
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, dry roasted (chopped)
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. orange zest
  • 2 Tbsp. mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Put all of the ingredients but the chocolate chips in a large bowl and mix together well.
  2. Add the chocolate chips and fold into the mixture, if you are including them.
  3. Form the batter into balls. I find it works best to press the mixture together between your hands first and then roll it into a ball. These energy bites are more sticky than moist.
  4. Place the bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator.

Notes

The energy bites will keep in the refrigerator for about a week or in the freezer for several months.
