These no-bake Gingerbread Energy Bites are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan with no added sugar. They’re super easy to whip up for a healthy holiday delight you can feel awesome about. And.. they’re delicious!
Here’s the details:
1 cup of pitted dates*
1/4 cup of dried cranberries*
½ cup almonds (raw or roasted, depending on your preference)
½ cup cashews (same as above)
¼ cup of chia seeds
½ tablespoon blackstrap molasses
½ tsp vanilla
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp cinnamon
⅛ tsp nutmeg
A pinch of salt
½ cup unsweetened dried coconut flakes (optional)
Makes 10-15 servings, depending on size.
*As an optional first step, plump your dates and cranberries in a bowl of water for 10-15 minutes. It adds moisture and helps to bring out the natural flavours.
Place everything (except the coconut flakes) into a food processor. Combine for a few minutes until everything is well mixed. A ball of dough may form.
Roll into balls and finish by rolling into flakes of coconut until fully covered.
Enjoy! Can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for future enjoyment.
