Blueberry Bliss Energy Bites
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup dried blueberries
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup pecans
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- 1. In food processor, pulse rolled oats and pecans separately. You still want some coarseness to both ingredients. It took me about 15 times for each ingredient.
- 2. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix with rubber spatula. I used my hands also to combine ingredients.
- 3. Shape into balls and place on cookie sheet to freeze for 30 minutes.
- Optional: microwave 1/2 cup white chocolate chips for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Stir with spoon and dip balls into white chocolate to freeze.
- I store these in the freezer to keep their shape and I think they taste even better frozen!
