Strawberry breakfast bites

By

Breakfast bites, energy balls, protein bites, bliss balls whatever you call them they are everywhere! I already have a recipe for a super easy no fail chocolate bliss ball. But I have been working really hard at finding and creating recipes for bliss balls with less sugar (even the dried fruit kind) but that are still palatable. I am also attempting to get on the Valentines bandwagon. So

I am also attempting to get on the Valentines bandwagon. So naturally, I aimed for pink. Which for me meant strawberry breakfast bites were in order.

Strawberry Energy Bites

My strawberry breakfast bites

These strawberry energy balls are not overly sweet, however my kiddos have been happily eating them. If your kiddos need a bit of sweetness to add some yum factor, a little honey or maple syrup should do the trick. Try adding 1 tablespoon as a start, and see what your kids think. I’ve been making them the night before (they are quick) then serving them straight from the fridge for breakfast in the morning, It has been hot here so its been perfect.

I have tested these strawberry breakfast bites  in the lunch box, and they are fine. So they are not solely for breakfast by any means.  However my kid’s lunch boxes do get kept cool in a cooler bag.  On a super hot day without cooling I am not sure how they would survive. But they are nut free so should be ok for school!

There is a quick video for how to make this recipe further down.

Strawberry Breakfast Bites

Yield 30 Balls

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup oats
  • 1/2 Cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 Cup coconut flour
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut oil
  • Desiccated coconut

Instructions

  1. Watch the quick recipe video before you get started, scroll up a little to find it
  2. Check the notes at the bottom of the recipe for little bits of extra info and help
  3. Place first 4  ingredients  in a food processor with 1 TBSP of the coconut oil
  4. Whiz, whizz, whizz, it will take some time, be patient
  5. Eventually it becomes a fine paste and form a ball
  6. If the mixture looks dry add the second spoon of coconut oil. It depends a little on how much oil is released from the sunflower seeds.

Notes

If extra sweetness required try 1-2 TBSP of honey or maple syrup (no honey for kids under 1 yr of age)

  2. Would substuting coconut flour for regular flour or almond work ok? I’m not a fan of too much coconut and would quite like these to snack on too 🙂

  3. I’m sorry to ask this stupid question …but is “Desiccated” like sweetened shredded coconut flakes?
    Thanks!!

    • I use either! it depends on your taste preference. I find raw the texture is not quite as fine as if you roast them first… but the taste is milder. My kids prefer them with raw sunflower seeds

  7. These look amazing and i just have 2 questions 🙂
    1) How long do these last in the refrigerator?
    2) Could you make this with dehydrated or freeze-dried fruit?

  8. Hi, can I use another flour instead of coconut flour? Can’t be a nut flour though as my daughter has a nut allergy.
    Thanks

  11. I am definitely going to try making these!
    Have you tried making these with fresh strawberries? How about frozen blueberries?

  12. Very interesting… would definitely try them. Thanku so much
    Was thinking with which other fruit can we make this, as berries are available only for a very limited time here.

  13. Any idea on if I would be able to substitute sunflower seed butter for the seeds and, if so, how much? I currently don’t have sunflower seeds in the house.

  15. Hi theses look really good, I need them to be gluten free, do your know what could substitute oats as I can’t eat even gluten free oats? Thanks Mandy.
