Fig Energy Bites
Who would have thought you could make tasty energy bites with just 5 ingredients? Follow the recipe below to make these qucik-and-easy energy bites that are perfect as a lunchbox filler or afternoon snack.
Ingredients
370 g unsulphured dried figs
130 g fine shredded coconut, divided (unsweetened)
80 ml coconut oil, melted
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
DIRECTIONS
Place the figs, 100 g of the coconut, coconut oil, cinnamon and salt in a food processor and pulse on and off until a thick paste forms (you may have to stop and scrape the sides of your food processor a couple of times).
Form into 2.5 cm balls, then roll them in the reserved 30 g of shredded coconut.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the coconut oil set.
Note: Feel free to play around with the dried fruit in this recipe-—dates, dried apples and apricots are all good substitutions for the figs.
Storage: Keeps for a week or two stored in the refrigerator. Also freezes well.
