Energy bites are one of my favorite things to have around because they’re awesome as a snack on a mountain top in Glacier National Park. Or they’re equally good in the car on the way from one appointment to another when I just don’t think I can make it until dinner time. On one of my recent grocery trips, I noticed they were carrying a new season fall flavor called Pumpkin Pie, so of course I decided to try it. They definitely tasted just like pumpkin pie, and I knew I needed to come up with a homemade version right away!
I love using medjool dates for energy bites/bars because of their caramel like flavor and soft texture that just blends right into the background without an chewy bits.
Energy bites come together in just minutes with a food processor, and then you can form them into bars, or roll them into bites. From there I put a few in the fridge for snacks, and then I freeze the rest to be used over the next few weeks.
I actually just took a bag of these out of the freezer to take along with us to Glacier over the weekend. We’ll have a few with coffee while we watch the sunrise, and then pack a few more along on our hike, (we’re really hoping for some good weather to catch some photos tomorrow of the late fall colors). 5 from 2 reviews
