How to make Super Seed Energy Bites
- First, give your dates a squeeze. You want them to be nice and soft. If they feel stiff, pop them in the microwave for 5-10 seconds until soft and almost sticky.
- Add the dates and the rest of the ingredients to a food processor (not a blender). Using the pulse setting, process the mixture until it begins to look like coarse sand. Continue to process until a tablespoon of the dough can be rolled into a smooth ball. You may have to stop a time or two and scrape the sides of the container.
- Scoop out 14 tablespoon sized balls and roll them between your palms until smooth.
- Pour the sesame seeds in a small dish and roll the energy bites around in the seeds so they are coated all over. Press the seeds into the bites by rolling them between your palms.
- Store in the refrigerator for firm energy bites or in the pantry for “fudgy” energy bites. They also freeze really well.
