Instructions

Energy Bites

  1. In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine your ingredients and blend until fully combined. Mixture should press together when between two fingers.
    • 5 pitted Medjool dates - 108 grams
    • 1.5 Tablespoons maple syrup - 27 grams
    • 3/4 cup rolled oats - 72 grams
    • 3 Tablespoons room temperature stirred tahini - 50 grams
    • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder - 10 grams
    • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes - 18 grams
    • 2/3 cups walnuts - 70 grams
    • pinch of kosher salt
  2. Take about a tablespoon of your date mixture and roll into a ball, place a raw almond inside (if desired) and set on a wax lined sheet pan. Continue until dough mixture is finished.
    • whole almonds
  3. Place in fridge or freezer to harden while you prepare tahini magic shell.
  4. Once your magic shell is ready, remove your date bites and dip each into the tahini magic shell mixture until coated and remove with fork. Place on wax lined sheet pan and top with toasted sesame seeds. Place in freezer to harden.
  5. Enjoy straight from the freezer!

Tahini Magic Shell

  1. In a microwave safe bowl - place your coconut oil, tahini and white chocolate. Microwave for 30 seconds on high, stir then microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. If your chocolate is melted fully after stirring for 1-2 minutes you're done. If you still have large clumps of chocolate, place back in microwave and continue heating in 15 second increments - stirring between. The mixture should be thin and loose but not HOT. Stirring encourages the chocolate to melt without heating heavily.
    • 1/2 cup white chocolate - 85 grams
    • 1/3 cup coconut oil - 73 grams
    • 1/4 cup room temperature stirred tahini - 63 grams
  2. Once at the right consistency, add your vanilla and a pinch of salt.
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • pinch of kosher salt
  3. Store in airtight jar and place in dark cool pantry. 

Notes

  • Used refined coconut oil if you want less of a coconut taste.
  • These should be stored in the fridge or freezer for best results and taste.
  • Extra tahini magic sauce can be used over ice cream or another batch of energy bites.
  • For best results, use weight measurements - especially with the dates as sizes vary.
