Equipment

  • food processor
  • parchment paper
  • baking tray
  • microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Fork or dipping tool

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (or oats pulsed into flour)
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter (or almond butter or sunflower seed butter)
  • 1/3 cup soft Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • crushed gingerbread cookies (optional topping)

Instructions

  • Add the oat flour, nut butter, Medjool dates, molasses, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and milk to a food processor. Blend until a soft dough forms, adding more milk if needed.
  • Scoop and roll the mixture into 12 to 14 smooth energy bite balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Melt the white chocolate in the microwave using 20 to 30 second intervals or with a double boiler. Dip each chilled energy bite into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off, then return to the parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle with crushed gingerbread cookies if desired.
  • Refrigerate the coated energy bites for 1 to 2 hours until the white chocolate is fully set. Serve chilled.
