INGREDIENTS FOR APPLE ENERGY BITES

The great thing about energy bites that they are made with simple pantry ingredients that you can swap out according to what you have on hand. Roll them up into balls and you’ve got an easy snack for on-the-go.

Be sure to check your labels if you have food allergies or sensitivities and use gluten free or nut free ingredients as needed.

  • oats (use gluten free if necessary)
  • sticky sweetener like maple syrup, honey, brown rice syrup or organic agave
  • natural nut or seed butter (almond, peanut, cashew, sunflower or pumpkin seed butter)
  • applesauce (I used unsweetened)
  • ground cinnamon
  • chopped pecans

Ingredients

1/4 cup natural creamy almond butter, slightly heated

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 cups quick oats (gluten free as needed)

3/4 cup rolled oats (gluten free as needed)

Optional add-ins - no more than 1/2 cup

ground flaxseed or chia seeds

chopped pecans

dried cranberries, raisins

sunflower or pumpkin seeds

chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together heated nut butter and honey until smooth.
  2. Stir in the remaining ingredients until well combined. Add optional add-ins, if desired.
  3. Wet hands slightly and form dough tightly into 1" - 1.5" balls. If dough doesn't stick together add 1/2 tablespoon water (or melted coconut oil) at a time until dough comes together or place dough in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to forming dough balls so it's easier to handle.
  4. Store in airtight container in refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
