Pecan Pie Energy Bites Recipe

I’m leery of anything named something that it’s not, but these Pecan Pie Energy Bites are so unbelievably delicious I’m willing to look past the fact there is no pie in sight. They’re so good you don’t even have to preface with “they’re vegan, but…” in front of your friends.

Ingredients

• 10 dates

• 1 1/2 cups pecans

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/4 cup flaxmeal

• 1/4 cup almond butter

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1. Mix everything in the food processor until it’s somewhat smooth.

2. Roll into individual balls, or your shape of choice.

3. Eat it all in the same day, so no need to concern yourself with storage. (Or you can put them in the fridge or freezer :)
