Servings: 20 energy bites
Calories: 100kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Cup rolled oats
- 3 tablespoon white chia seeds
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¾ Cup nut butter almond, cashew, peanut
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ Cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup pistachio nuts
Instructions
- Place the rolled oats, maple syrup. nut butter and chia seeds in the food processor. Blitz quickly until combined
- Add the cranberries, nuts, and chocolate chips, pulse until they are distributed evenly in the mix
- Set the mix aside for 20 mins, this allows the chia seeds to gel a little and will mean the mix is easier to roll into balls
- Scoop out tablespoonfuls and roll into balls (my tablespoons hold 15ml)
- Refrigerate
Notes
- Any nut butter can be used, in this recipe I find almond or cashew better as peanut butter is a little strong in flavour, but if you love peanut butter it still works
- Refrigerate for up to 5 days or store in the freezer
- In this recipe I have specified white chia seeds as they look a little prettier with the light coloured ingredients, but black chia seeds will work just as well
