CHOCOLATE AND CHERRY ENERGY BITES

Dark chocolate and cherry energy bites - no bake, and only seven ingredients, they are deliciously chewy, sticky and sweet!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 20 bites
Course: Bites
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (130g) cashew butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 teaspoons coconut oil
  • cup (100g) honey
  • ½ cup (70g) dark chocolate (plus more to decorate)
  • cup (50g) dried cherries, chopped
  • 1 and ¾ cups (155g) rolled oats

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the chopped dried cherries and rolled oats, and stir well to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
