How to make pecan pie energy bites
Step 1: Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to combine everything together to form a thick batter.
Step 2: Use a mini cookie scoop to drop balls of batter onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Roll each ball with your hands to smooth out the edges.
Joy’s Tip
I find a 1.5 tablespoon sized mini cookie scoop to be the perfect size for making energy balls. It also makes the process go a lot quicker!
Step 3: Refrigerate the energy bites until they are firm to the touch. Transfer leftovers to an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
How To Store
These pecan pie energy bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for 1-2 months.
