Cuisine American
- ½ cup (130g) cashew butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons coconut oil
- ⅓ cup (100g) honey
- ½ cup (70g) dark chocolate (plus more to decorate)
- ⅓ cup (50g) dried cherries, chopped
- 1 and ¾ cups (155g) rolled oats
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine the cashew butter, vanilla, coconut oil, honey and dark chocolate. Microwave on short (5-10 second) blasts, stirring each time until the mixture is smooth and glossy and the chocolate is melted.
Add the chopped dried cherries and rolled oats, and stir well to combine.
Divide equally - I used my tablespoon measure to make 20 bites. If desired, melt a little extra dark chocolate and using a fork, drizzle over the bites to decorate them.
The energy bites can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week. They can also be frozen, just allow to defrost for a few minutes before eating.
