Step 1

Stir all ingredients together in a large bowl until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. (This step is important — it makes the mixture easier to shape.)

Step 2

Remove and shape into small 1-inch balls, or press into the bottom of a parchment-lined baking pan to make granola bars.

Step 3

Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

Step 4

**It is not essential that these be refrigerated, but it helps the balls to keep their shape.

Chef’s notes

Energy bites are a great way to use up any ingredients you might have on hand.

You can substitute any nuts, nut butter, dried fruit, or chocolate that sounds good.

If you don’t want to shape the mix into little balls, you can also press it into the bottom of a baking dish and then cut them into bars.
