Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (about 15 dates)
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or natural both work well)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • your favourite jam

Instruction

  • Line a baking pan with parchment paper and place about 15 small dollops (about 1 tsp each) of jam on the pan.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to let the jam firm up.
  • Blend the Medjool dates, oats, flax seeds, shredded coconut, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt in a food processor until combined. The mixture should be sticky when you press it between your fingers. If it’s not, add a few more dates.
  • Using your hand scoop out some of the dough and flatten into a disk shape.
  • Remove the jam from the freezer and place a dollop in the center of the disk.
  • Fold up the edges sealing the jam in the center, (like folding a dumpling) then roll between your hands to form a ball.
  • Repeat the process for each energy bite.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
