No Sugar, No Flour – Just Pure Goodness Energy Bites Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare Your Ingredients:
Start by placing the pitted dates and roasted peanuts into a food processor or blender. If you want a bit of extra flavor, add the cocoa powder and cinnamon as well.
2️⃣ Blend Until Smooth:
Pulse the mixture until it forms a sticky dough-like consistency. If it’s too dry, add a little more coconut oil or peanut butter, a teaspoon at a time.
3️⃣ Form the Bites:
Once the mixture is blended and sticky, use your hands to roll it into small bite-sized balls or press it into a tray to make bars. If you prefer a more compact form, press it into a lined pan and chill before cutting into squares.
4️⃣ Chill & Serve:
Place the bites or bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up. Enjoy straight from the fridge, or store them in an airtight container for later!
Pro Tips for the Best Energy Bites:
