Granola Energy Bites
Nothing curbs a snack craving quite like an energy bite. These granola energy bites have the perfect mix of chewy and crunchy, and creaminess from the peanut butter that you won't be able to resist! They are made with simple ingredients like quick oats, nut butter, dates, chia seeds and hemp hearts. Plus, I added a sneaky handful of granola for added crunch and a cacao flavour!
Ingredients
- 10 whole medjool dates pitted and soaked in hot water for 5 minutes
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1 tbsp protein powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts
- 1 cup One Degree Organics Quick Oats
- 3 tbsp natural smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup One Degree Organics Quinoa Cacao Granola, folded in
Instructions
- Cut open your dates and remove the pit.
- In a small bowl, soak your dates in boiling water for 5 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
- To a food processor, add softened dates, water, walnuts, protein powder, chia seeds, hemp hearts, One Degree Organics Quick Oats, and peanut butter. Pulse everything together, ensuring to pause and scrape down the sides of the food processor. If you find the mixture is too dry, add 1 extra tsp of water.
- Fold in the One Degree Organics Quinoa Cacao Granola with a small spatula.
- Use a small cookie scooper or a teaspoon to roll into balls. Place on a lined baking sheet and set in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before enjoying.
