Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cup oats use certified GF if needed
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, if vegan
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries craisins
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make them: Add oats to food processor and pulse until broken down (see photo below). Add shredded coconut and pulse a few times to incorporate. Measure the almond butter + coconut butter into separate microwave-safe bowls and microwave for about 20-30 seconds to melt/soften. Add to the food processor and pulse until a dough forms. Add the salt, vanilla, and honey and pulse until incorporated. Taste, and add more honey if the dough isn't sticky enough to form into balls. Stir in the cranberries + white chocolate chips, or pulse them in if you don't mind them getting chopped up a bit. Form into balls!
- Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately. Store energy bites in airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
NOTE: To further cut down on sugar, if desired, be sure to use almond butter, shredded coconut, and dried cranberries without added sugar.
NOTE: There seems to be some debate about vanilla and it's place in gluten-free foods. If you absolutely can't have gluten, I'd leave it out to be safe.
