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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Chill to set: Place the energy bites in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour until they firm up and hold their shape.
  6. 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.
