Description
SunButter & Jelly Energy Bites made with oats, Medjool dates, No-Sugar-Added SunButter, and your favorite jam. The perfect snack!
Ingredients
- 1 cup super gooey Medjool Dates
- 1 cup Gluten Free Oat Flour
- 1 cup No Sugar Added SunButter
- ¼ cup jelly (homemade or store bought)
Instructions
- First, use a 1/2 teaspoon measure to scoop out jelly “balls” and place them on a parchment paper lined plate or baking sheet. Place in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to harden.
- Add the Medjool dates to a food processor or high speed blender and process until you have a thick paste. Transfer the date paste to a bowl and add in the oat flour and SunButter. Stir with a spatula until you have a smooth batter. It will be hard to combine at first, but will come together after a few kneads!
- Scoop the SunButter dough out in ~1.5 TBSP balls. Flatten the balls into small discs by pressing them between your hands or flattening with the bottom of a glass. Place them on another parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Once the jelly “balls” are hard, remove them from the freezer. Work quickly to ensure that the jelly doesn’t melt! Press one jelly “ball” into the center of the SunButter dough ball and use your fingers to fold the dough around the frozen jelly to seal it off. Roll again with your hands so you have a tight ball. Repeat this process until you’re out of jelly and SunButter balls!
- Store the SunButter & Jelly Energy Bites in the fridge for up to two weeks or the freezer long term storage.
