Introduction
About this Recipe
These are great for special occasions and can be made well in advance to keep life a little simpler.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats, rolled or quick
- 1/2 cup hemp hearts
- 6 medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
- pinch of salt, optional
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Place all the ingredients in food processor, blend until combined. Add 1 tablespoon water at time if needed to help the mixture clump up. Use water at your own discretion.
Don’t worry if the dough seems a little too sticky as it will become a bit stiffer once refrigerated. If it’s a little sticky, it will help when you roll the balls in a coating. If the mixture is too wet, try adding a pinch or two of oats. The dryer they are, the more they will be a stiffer, but chewy cookie. The moister they are, they will become more like cookie dough. Both ways are good.
Step 2
Scoop and roll. Next, roll the dough into 1 inch balls. If dough seems too sticky, refrigerate the dough for about 20 minutes before rolling.
Step 3
For a finishing touch, roll the energy bites in a variety of different ingredients — I rolled some in hemp seeds, some in coconut, some in cinnamon and some in cacao powder. If rolling in powders, be sure to gently lift and drop your coated balls a few times an inch or two above a hard surface to let any excess powder fall off.
