Servings 32
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup whole organic flax seed
- 1 cup dried blueberries or 2 pints fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 scoop protein powder, totally optional
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 3 tablespoons Pichuberry Puree
- 1 cup cashew or cookie butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Drying Blueberries
- If using fresh blueberries, dry them in the oven. Skip this step if using pre-dried blueberries.
- Wash blueberries and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C).
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spread the blueberries without touching.
- Bake in the oven for 4 hours.
The Recipe
- In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, flax seeds, dried blueberries, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, cinnamon, and protein powder (if using). Whisk to mix the ingredients.
- Add the honey, Pichuberry Puree, cashew butter, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir well using a spatula or your hands.
- Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoon size) to scoop the mixture. Press the scoop firmly against the bowl to pack the mixture tightly. This makes it easier to roll and form into balls.
- Roll the scoops into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Wash and dry your hands every few balls to make it easier to roll and compact the mixture.
- Allow the balls to set on the baking sheet for 1 hour, or place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Storage
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container. They can last for several weeks, and they can also be frozen for longer storage.
Notes
*VEGAN option - replace raw honey with pure maple syrup.
