  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • Blend: Process until the mixture begins to clump together and holds when pressed between your fingers.

    • If the mixture seems too dry or crumbly to roll, add maple syrup, 1 Tbsp. at a time, and process again. If your dates are especially soft and sticky, you may not need any maple syrup but I usually always add some in.
  • Scoop and roll: Scoop the mixture into ~1½ Tbsp. portions and roll firmly between your palms to form balls. If the mixture is sticky, lightly dampen your hands with water before rolling. I like to do this too to keep that soft, chewy texture; it helps a lot!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They’re great straight from the fridge, but you can also let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
For longer storage, freeze the energy bites in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 3 months.
