Ingredients:
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Pulse It Up: In a food processor, combine the pitted dates and pulse until they form a sticky paste. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Mix It In: Add the chopped almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and sea salt to the food processor. Pulse until everything is combined but still has some texture.
Roll 'Em Up: Using your hands (dampen them slightly if the mixture is sticky), roll the mixture into bite-sized balls.
Chill Out: Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Enjoy!: Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They're perfect for a midday snack, post-workout boost, or even a sweet treat after dinner!
Tips
- Feel free to get creative with your add-ins! Dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, chia seeds, or even a pinch of cacao powder would be delicious additions.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together.
Enjoy these healthy and halal bites – they're sure to become a favorite!
