They’re a filling snack or treat to enjoy throughout the week or share with friends. Did we mention they’re vegan, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened? Energy bites for all! Let us show you how it’s done!
How to Make German Chocolate Cake Energy Bites
These decadent bites of goodness start with toasting coconut and pecans to bring out their richness and create energy bites with a serious resemblance to German chocolate cake! We pulse the toasted pecans and coconut in a food processor, reserving some of the mixture for a pretty garnish and subtle crunch at the end. Then, we get to the really good stuff. Toasted pecans and coconut combine with dates, cacao (or cocoa) powder, vanilla, salt, and almond butter. It’s so simple, but the combination tastes like pure magic! We finish off these bites with a melted chocolate + coconut oil “frosting” and sprinkle them with the reserved chopped pecans and coconut. We hope you LOVE these energy bites! They’re:RichDecadentSatisfyingNuttyChocolaty& Flawless! We’re kind of obsessed and think you will be, too! Bring these bite-sized treats to gatherings to share with friends or keep them in the refrigerator or freezer for a little self-care all week (or two) long.
