Gold Raisin No Bake Energy Bites
Description
These easy no bake golden raisin energy bites are a quick, healthy, vegetarian snack or dessert made with walnuts, oats, and flax.
Ingredients
- 1 cup golden raisins lightly packed
- ½ cup walnuts or nuts of choice
- ¼ cup rolled or quick-cooking oats plus 2 tablespoons
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds (or additional 2 tablespoons oats)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- For topping: chopped nuts, toasted coconut flakes, cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles
Directions
- Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour very hot water over the top to cover. Let soak 5 minutes, then drain and lightly pat dry.
- Place the nuts, oats, and flaxseed in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, then blend until finely ground.
- Add the drained raisins, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse until a thick, sticky ball forms.
- Remove the ball from the food processor, then roll into individual small balls, about 1 inch across. Sprinkle any desired toppings on individual plates, then roll the balls in the toppings to coat.
- Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until no longer sticky. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
