Apple Cinnamon Energy Bites

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, applesauce, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well combined. 2. Fold in dried cranberries, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds. 3. Refrigerate mixture for 20-30 minutes — it will firm up and become easier to roll. 4. Using your hands, roll mixture into 1-inch balls. You should get about 18-20 energy bites. 5. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. 6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Perfect for on-the-go snacking or pre-workout fuel.
