Energy balls are one of my favourite grab-n-go snacks or no-bake healthy dessert options. They keep well in the fridge or freezer, but chances are they’ll be gone before they make it to the freezer 🙂Â
Pecan Pie Bites
Prep time
Total time
A healthier and much quicker alternative to traditional pecan pie. They also make a great snack when you're craving something sweet.
Author: Crystal
Recipe type: Dessert / Snack
Serves: 18 small balls
Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates
- 1.25 cups pecans
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until all ingredients mixed together.
- Roll 1-2 Tbsp. at a time into small balls.
- Optional: Top each ball with a pecan half or consider rolling in hemp hearts or coconut flakes.
The combination of dates and pecans mimics the sweet creamy caramel taste in a pecan pie. These bites are super versatile – think grab-n-go snack, healthy dessert or a DIY gift option.Â
