Absolutely! Here’s a quick, guilt-free Energy Dessert — ready in 10 minutes, with no added sugar, no eggs, and no flour:
No-Bake Energy Bites (Guilt-Free Dessert)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
- ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup (optional for extra sweetness, but not needed if you use sweet dates)
- ½ cup pitted dates (soft, or soak for 10 minutes in warm water)
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Optional add-ins:
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.)
Instructions:
- Blend dates:
In a food processor, blend the pitted dates until they form a sticky paste. - Mix ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, blended dates, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and coconut (if using). Stir until fully combined. (If too dry, add a little more nut butter.) - Form balls:
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls.
(Tip: Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking.) - Chill:
Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm up — then they’re ready to eat!
Notes:
- Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
- These are naturally sweet from dates — no sugar crash!
Would you like a “chocolate version” or a “lemon-coconut flavor” option too?
I can send a variation if you want!
