Equipment

1 food processor

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
6 large Medjool dates pitted
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup almond butter (make sure it is fully mixed)
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup soft dried apple slices

Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats and chia seeds. Set aside.
Add dates and water to a food processor and mix a few times until a paste starts to form. Then, add the maple syrup, vanilla, almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and dried apples to the food processor. Mix again until the mixture turns into a dough-like texture and ingredients are well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix. It can be easier to use your hands to really get everything mixed well together. If you use your hands, then either coat your hands in a bit of olive oil or water first, so the dough doesn't stick.
Once all the ingredients are mixed well, form into 1 inch balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Energy bites will last for 5-7 days in the fridge.

Notes

Instead of almond butter, you can use cashew butter or peanut butter ( or any nut butter of your choice). But keep in mind peanut butter has a strong taste.

Instead of maple syrup, you can use honey here.

You can change up the spices. You can add any Fall spice of your choice, like ground ginger, ground cloves, pumpkin pie spice.
