Raw, No Bake, Energy Bites

No Bake Energy Bites 

I love these delicious treats for several reasons... 

1. They are easy to make 

2. They are guilt-free 

3. They are the perfect treat if you need a little snack or tasty dessert 

4.  They are portable 

5. The ingredients are delicious 

so lets get started! 

I made a huge batch because I had some almond butter I was trying to get rid of but you can alter the recipe amount if you want to make less energy bites (but lets be real, you will need/want quite a few) Just make sure the texture is gooey enough for everything to stick, but not so gooey that you can't form a ball out of the mix. 

Ingredients: 

3 cups of almond butter 

2 cups of gluten-free oatmeal (uncooked) 

1/2 cup of sunflower seeds 

1 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut flakes 

2 cups of coconut nectar (you can find this at whole foods) OR use raw honey 

lots of cinnamon 

3 tbsp of natural vanilla 

1 tsp of salt 

Directions: 

Pour all DRY ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. 

Then, slowly pour in coconut nectar while stirring.  

Mix coconut nectar in with dry ingredients as best as you can. 

Then, add in the almond butter and mix until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly (I used my clean hands to do this) 

Once everything is well mixed, start spooning the mixture out onto some parchment paper.  

Just like making homemade cookies, you will roll the batter into little balls. 

Once all of your batter is made into little balls, you can place them in fridge or serve immediately. 

I like to keep them in the fridge because I like them slightly chilled! 

p.s. these can also serve as a great side dish to bring over the holidays!

Energy Bars

I am huge fan of these bars! They are easy to make, portable, they are DELISH, and they are all-natural.  So many protein bars are loaded with junk.  Don't be fooled by protein bars and don't put crap in your body!

p.s. your house will smell so amazingly scrumptious while these are baking, you will want to make them every week! #HelloBettyCrocker The smell of these bars really put me in the holiday spirit... is that weird?!

These energy bars are: Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, Organic,  Non-GMO, & DELICIOUS!  

Ingredients: 

2 cups of pecans 

1 1/2 cup of almonds 

4 dates  

dash of cinnamon
dash of salt 

 1/2 cup of honey OR 

coconut nectar for less sugar... I've tried each out and love both! 

Directions: 

 Place nuts in food processor or good blender and pulse.  Be careful not over process.  You don't want an almond butter texture.

Then place all other ingredients in food processor and pulse until a thick texture is made. 

Place batter in an 8x8 cooking pan that is greased with coconut oil.  

Bake on a low temperature around 180 for about an hour.  Leave the oven slightly cracked open.  Once the top starts to brown, take the pan out. 

Cut & Serve (or store for the week!)
