1/3 cup raw honey
09 -
3 tablespoons Pichuberry Puree
10 -
1 cup cashew butter or cookie butter
11 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
If using fresh blueberries, dry them in the oven. Wash blueberries and pat dry with a paper towel. Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and spread blueberries in a single layer without touching. Bake for 4 hours.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, flax seeds, blueberries (dried or fresh), coconut flakes, dark chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, and protein powder (if using). Whisk thoroughly to mix.
03 -
Add raw honey, Pichuberry Puree, cashew butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly using a spatula or hands until the ingredients are well combined.
04 -
Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoon size) to scoop the mixture, pressing firmly against the bowl to pack the mixture tightly. Roll scoops into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
05 -
Allow the rolled energy bites to set on the baking sheet for 1 hour, or place them in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
06 -
Store the bites in an airtight container. They can last for several weeks, or be frozen for longer storage.
# Additional Notes:

Wash and dry hands between forming balls to make rolling easier.
