ingredients SCALE 1x 2x 3x

3/4 cup medjool dates (about 7 – 8), pitted and chopped

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, optional
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup pistachios, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
pinch of himalayan salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips (raw dark chocolate chips , cacao nibs or vegan chocolate chips)

instructions

Process: Place all ingredients in food processor except for 1/4 cup of the pistachios, water and
chocolate chips. Blend until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If mixture
seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, as needed.

Add remaining ingredients. In a medium bowl, add the dough with remaining pistachios and
chocolate chips, mixing well with a spoon or your hands.

Roll: Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop up rounded tablespoons of the dough and
roll into balls.

Makes approx. 12 – 14 cookie balls

Roll in crushed pistachios (optional): Place 1/4 – 1/3 pistachios between a piece of folded
parchment paper and crush with the bottom of a glass that has a flat surface or use a rolling
pin. Roll your balls on the crushed pistachios.

Store: Store energy bites in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for a couple weeks
and last even longer in the freezer. You can always make these ahead for special occasions.
notes
If you rather not use dates or don’t have them on hand, you can sub with pure maple syrup using 1/3 cup pure maple
syrup
