Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cup Hazelnut Meal*
- ¼ cup Ground Flax
- ¼ cup Cacao Powder
- 3 tbsp Coffee Concentrate*
- 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 2 tbsp Nut Butter (I used Almond)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a Food Processor and pulse until combined. You can also mix all of the ingredients together by hand in a medium bowl, but this will take a little more elbow grease.
- Spoon around 2 tbsp of the mixture into your hand and gently roll it to form a round ball; the dough should be moist, but not too sticky. You can also roll the Bites into fun toppings if you’d like.
- Store the Energy Bites in the fridge for up to 7 days, or the freezer for up to one month.
Notes
- If you’d like to increase the flavors in these bites, I would highly recommend toasting your Hazelnut Meal in a nonstick pan over medium heat for 30-60 seconds before using.
- I have not tested this recipe without Ground Flax, but you could try to add in an extra ½ cup of Hazelnut Meal or 2 tbsp Coconut Flour to the mix instead and go from there.
- If you cannot find Hazelnut Meal, you can also pulse whole Hazelnuts in your blender until they form a fine flour (but not butter). Alternatively, you can substitute part of the Hazelnut Meal for Almond Meal/Flour.
- I used a store-bought Coffee Concentrate for this recipe, but you can easily make your own by brewing your own coffee at 2x the normal strength.
