Homemade Energy Bites

I must say I do enjoy these energy bites. They are really tasty and one little ball keeps me going. So far, this is my second batch. The first one, No-Bake Apricot Melon Energy Bites was made with dried apricots, candied winter melon, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and almond meal. They were fruity and nutty and looked like jewel studded balls. With four persons at home, they did not last long.

Dried Persimmons

This time round, I wanted to use up some of the dried persimmons I had left in the freezer and so I combined them with granola, walnuts, dark chocolate chips, and unsweetened coconut flakes. These definitely have a more traditional energy bar flavor. If you cannot find dried persimmons, please substitute with whatever dried fruits you prefer. I think raisins or dried cranberries would combine nicely in this recipe.

The coconut flakes kept the energy bites nice and dry on the outside. It also gave the balls an attractive “fuzzy” appearance, not to mention a deliciously nutty flavor.
