MAPLE CASHEW ENERGY BITES
​Makes 12-14 balls

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup cashew butter (or nut/seed butter of choice)
• 1 cup quick oats coarsely blended in food processor or blender
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or chopped and soaked dates or raw honey)
• 1/4 tsp pink or sea salt
• 1/2 cup cacao nibs (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl ( I use my hands, it’s just easier to blend all the ingredients, plus you’ll be rolling them into balls anyways)
• Form into balls and place onto a plate
• Put into freezer to firm up (about 15 minutes)
• Store in a sealed container in the fridge

OPTIONS:

• Before freezing, roll the balls into sesame seeds, coconut flakes etc for an extra hit of flavour
• Add dried fruits or seeds into the balls for added nutrition and taste
