Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural creamy cashew butter see notes
  • ½ cup roasted salted cashews
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup freeze dried strawberries
  • ¾ tsp salt see notes
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Add the cashews to a food processor and pulse them into small pieces.
  • Place the cashew pieces in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the freeze dried strawberries to a food processor and process them into a fine powder.
  • Reserve 1 teaspoon of the strawberry dust and set it to the side for topping the energy bites.
  • Add the remaining strawberry dust to the cashews in the mixing bowl. Add the cashew butter, oats, honey, protein powder, vanilla extract, and salt and mix everything together using a rubber spatula.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use a mini cookie scoop to drop balls of batter onto the baking sheet. Roll each ball with your hands to smooth out the edges.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt the chocolate in 10-15 second increments in the microwave, stirring each time, until smooth.
  • Drizzle the tops of the energy bites with the melted white chocolate. Sprinkle the reserved strawberry dust over the tops of the melted chocolate immediately before the chocolate sets.
  • Place the baking sheet with the energy bites on it into the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the balls are hardened.Transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

Natural cashew butter does not have added sweetener. The only ingredients should be cashews, oil, and salt.
If your cashew butter does not contain added salt, use the full amount listed in the recipe. If it does have salt in the ingredients, only add ¼ teaspoon of salt, or salt the batter to taste.
