Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats the base for your energy bites
  • 1/2 cup natural almond or peanut butter adds creaminess and protein
  • 1/2 cup fig jam for natural sweetness and fruity flavor
  • 1/3 cup chopped pistachios provides crunch and healthy fats
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup enhances sweetness and helps bind ingredients
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt balances out the sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract adds depth of flavor
  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips optional, for a touch of indulgence

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Before you start, measure out all your ingredients. Use natural almond or peanut butter with no added sugar or oils for the best flavor and texture.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond or peanut butter, fig jam, honey or maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Stir together until smooth and cohesive.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

  • Add the rolled oats and chopped pistachios to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all oats and nuts are evenly coated. Fold in mini dark chocolate chips if using.

Step 4: Form the Energy Bites

  • Using hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1 to 1.5 inch bite-sized balls. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes if mixture is too sticky.

Step 5: Chill and Set

  • Place the formed energy bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 6: Enjoy!

  • Once chilled, these Fig-Jam & Pistachio Energy Bites are ready to enjoy as a quick snack or treat.
