INSTRUCTIONS

Pumpkin:

Place the chopped dates, pumpkin puree, honey/agave (if using), chia seeds vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, all spice and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients become a thick paste.

Transfer the pumpkin paste to a mixing bowl and add the oats, pecans, pepitas and dark chocolate. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes until it’s cold and easy to handle.

Using damp hands, form the mixture into roughly 1-inch balls. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. (Or freeze them for infinity weeks!)

--------

Sweet potato:

Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, hemp, chia and almonds in a food processor and pulse several times to crush nuts.

Add remaining ingredients and process to combine.

Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.

Pour dough onto plastic wrap, squeeze to form into large ball, wrap and freeze for 30-45 min.

Remove dough and portion into snack-sized balls.

Store in the freezer

---------

Choc Energy Bites:

Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter or coconut oil. Stir in cocoa powder and sweetener, then whisk in egg and cook over low 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, shredded coconut, protein powder, chopped nuts and coconut flour. Stir into saucepan until well combined.

Using about a tablespoon at a time, roll mixture into balls with your hands and lay on prepared baking sheet. You should get about 24 balls. Set baking sheet in the freezer.

Chocolate Coating:

Set a small metal or ceramic mixing bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

Melt chocolate and butter or oil together until melted.

One at a time, drop frozen energy bites into chocolate and coat well. Use a fork to lift out and gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Set back on waxed paper lined baking sheet. Let set.

-----

Cherry pecan:

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients until thoroughly incorporated. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Using clean hands, shape approximately two tablespoons of the mixture into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Repeat the procedure until all the dough is used. Chill the energy bites in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

-----

Cookie dough:

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the oats and wheat bran.

In a separate bowl, combine the honey, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture.

Add in the walnuts and mini chocolate chips, stirring to combine evenly.

Eat straight form the bowl or roll into 10 tablespoon-sized balls.

Notes

*Feel free to throw in some extra add-ins like dried fruit or other nuts! Keep in mind that you might need to add more honey or almond butter to bind everything together, though.

Nutila Preparation

Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. If the mixture is difficult to stir, simply place the bowl in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds to soften it up, then stir until all of the ingredients are combined. Refrigerate the “dough” for about half an hour, this will help it stick together better. After the dough is cooled, I scoop it up by the spoonful and roll into bite-sized balls. Store these in the freezer or the fridge, and indulge as you please!

----

Using a food processor, pulse together the oats, Mighty Maple peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, cranberries, sunflower kernels, coconut, almonds and flax seeds until fully combined.

Using a cookie scoop if you have one, form the mixture into balls (about a tablespoon and ½) and roll in the hazelnut meal/flour (if using) and place them on a baking sheet.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes and enjoy! Energy bites can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for 3-5 days.
