Description
No Sugar, No Flour Energy Bites are nutrient-packed, naturally sweetened snacks made with dates and peanuts. They're perfect for a quick breakfast, post-workout fuel, or a healthy treat anytime.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates (Medjool preferred)
- 1 cup roasted peanuts (unsalted or lightly salted)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or peanut butter
Instructions
- If dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- In a food processor, combine dates, peanuts, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and coconut oil or peanut butter. Pulse until a sticky dough forms, scraping down sides as needed.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the bites in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for best texture and sweetness.
- If the mixture is too dry, add more coconut oil or peanut butter.
- Try flavor variations like vanilla extract or orange zest.
- Suitable for kids and easy to pack for on-the-go snacking.
