THE BEST ENERGY BITES {MASTER RECIPE}
Steps:
- In a food processor, add the oats and process until coarsely chopped. If you don't have a food processor coarsely chop the oats in a blender and add to a bowl.
- Add the flaxseed meal, nut butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Process/mix until the mixture comes together into a soft but not overly sticky ball.
- If the mixture is overly dry, add nut butter a tablespoon at a time and process/mix until the consistency is soft but not overly sticky or crumbly.
- Remove the blade from the food processor, if using. Add any add-in ingredients, and mix with your hands until evenly combined.
- Roll the dough into small balls (I use my small cookie scoop - #60) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate until firm enough to stack in a lidded container or in a bag. The energy bites can be frozen for several months or refrigerated for a week or so.

CORNFLAKE ENERGY BITES
Loved the sound of these as a lunch box treat, found on Sanitarium.com.au, I used dried nectarines and pineapple in place of prunes and apricots. Best used within a few days before they go too soft.
