Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for healthy, no-bake almond butter energy bites that are perfect for snacking and fit the Daniel Fast guidelines.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons water (if needed to help with binding)

Instructions

  1. Pit and roughly chop 1 cup of Medjool dates. If dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
  2. In a food processor, add 1 cup almond butter and chopped dates. Pulse until smooth and sticky, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of sea salt, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional). Pulse a few times to mix evenly.
  4. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats until well combined. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if mixture is too dry to hold together.
  5. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands, making about 15-18 bites. Wet hands or dust with oats if sticky.
  6. Place bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use soft, sticky Medjool dates for best texture; soak if dry. Pulse ingredients instead of blending continuously to maintain texture. Chill bites to help them firm up and hold shape. Adjust moisture gradually with water or almond butter. Can substitute sunflower seed butter for nut allergies. Optional add-ins include cacao nibs, dried fruit, or plant-based protein powder.
