Directions:
Combine Some Dry Ingredients.
Combine the almond meal, flaxseed meal, and salt and set aside.
Prepare the Food Processor.
Using a food processor, add nuts, almond butter & coconut oil and pulse together for several seconds.
Add more Ingredients to Processor.
Add dried fruit, maple syrup, vanilla, shredded coconut & almond meal mixture. Pulse for several more seconds, bringing the mixture together but still keeping a little texture. You do NOT want to blend until smooth.
Shape the Bites.
Remove the blade from your food processor. You may need to mix the batter together with a spoon or rubber spatula. Using your hands, roll the mixture into balls (you could also coat balls with shredded coconut if desired) then place onto a flat baking sheet or air-tight container lined with wax paper.
Chill.
Place the energy bites into the refrigerator, or freezer for about an hour. Store the energy bites in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes:
The recipe should yield about 20 energy bites.
