Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 7
If the dates are a bit dry, soak them in hot water for about 5-10 minutes to soften them. Drain well before using.
- STEP 2 OF 7
Place the pitted dates in a food processor and blend until you get a sticky and smooth paste, scraping down the sides if necessary.
- STEP 3 OF 7
In a medium bowl, mix the chufa flakes, oats, freeze-dried blackcurrant powder, seeds, and a pinch of salt.
- STEP 4 OF 7
Add the date paste to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well until all ingredients are well combined.
- STEP 5 OF 7
Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form balls about 2-3 cm in diameter.
- STEP 6 OF 7
If desired, roll the energy bites in shredded coconut, chufa flour, extra freeze-dried blackcurrant powder, or chopped oats.
- STEP 7 OF 7
Place the energy bites on a plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to firm up.
