Easy energy bites with made with coconut, instant oats and flavored with cardamom. These Coconut Cardamom Energy Bites are vegan and refined sugar free.
Place cashews in your food processor. Pulse till they are slightly broken/crushed. Don't turn them into a powder since we want a nice bite in our energy bites. Remove from the processor and transfer to a large bowl.
To the same processor now add quick oats, desiccated coconut powder, cardamom powder and pitted dates. Also add a tablespoon of maple syrup.
Pulse to combine everything together. If the mixture looks dry, another tablespoon of maple syrup at this point and pulse again. The mixture should look little wet and you should be able to bind it.
Transfer it to the bowl with crushed cashews.
Mix in the cashews with the remaining mixture until well combined.
Shape the dough into small balls. I got 16 balls out of this mixture. Roll the energy bites into dry desiccated coconut powder.
