Yield Makes about 3 dozen bites

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup dark chocolate-covered espresso beans (optional)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 1/2 cups pitted dates (preferably Medjool)
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup creamy almond butter
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • If using, pulse espresso beans in a food processor until very finely ground. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or plate; set aside.
  • Pulse coconut, almonds, and pumpkin seeds in food processor until very coarsely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Pulse dates in food processor until finely chopped. Scrape down sides of bowl and add chia seeds. With the motor running, slowly stream in 1/4 cup very hot water and process until a paste forms. Add almond butter, ginger, turmeric, and salt; process until very smooth. Add coconut mixture and pulse until just combined.
  • Scoop date mixture by the level tablespoon, roll into balls in between palms, then roll in reserved chopped espresso beans, pressing slightly to adhere. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or plate and chill at least 1 hour.

Perfect snack for on-the-go. I keep a container in my car and it's a lifesaver when I'm running late and need a quick bite.

I was skeptical about the ginger and turmeric combo but it works surprisingly well. These energy bites are a nice change from the usual peanut butter and chocolate flavors.
