Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cashew nut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 lemon (juice and zest separated)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Combine wet ingredients: Place the cashew nut butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil into a food processor. Blend until all ingredients are fully incorporated together, creating a smooth mixture.
- Add dry ingredients and lemon juice: Add the coconut flour and the juice of the lemon to the food processor. Pulse repeatedly until the mixture forms a sticky, dough-like ball.
- Incorporate lemon zest and blueberries: Add the lemon zest and fresh blueberries to the mixture. Give the processor just a quick pulse to gently combine these ingredients without crushing the blueberries completely.
- Shape the energy bites: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then, roll each portion gently between the palms of your hands to form bite-sized balls.
- Chill to set: Place the energy bites in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour until they firm up and hold their shape.
- Store properly: Transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated. They will stay fresh for up to one week.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter snack, you can increase the maple syrup slightly.
- These bites can be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the fridge before eating.
- Substitute cashew nut butter with almond or peanut butter if desired.
- Make sure the coconut oil is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the other ingredients.
