Make these simple, no-bake energy bites featuring lemon and blueberry flavors. They are quick to prepare and store well for portable snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates, packed
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup dried blueberries (or fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for extra binding)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats and cashews in a food processor. Pulse until they form a coarse, crumbly mixture.
  2. Add the pitted dates, chia seeds, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt to the food processor. Process until the mixture starts to stick together. If the mixture seems too dry, add the maple syrup.
  3. If using dried blueberries, pulse them in briefly until just combined. If using fresh blueberries, gently fold them in by hand after processing the base mixture.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 12 to 15 bites.
  5. Place the finished energy bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can freeze these bites for up to three months; let them thaw for 5 minutes before eating.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can finely chop the oats and cashews by hand, but the texture may be less uniform.
