Grain Free Energy Bites (Vegan)

Melissa King 29 Comments

I made you some Grain Free Energy Bites.  Vegan too!  So the other day I made some Hazelnut Milk.  It was delicious!

When you make nut milk, you are left with a “meal.”  You can dry it out in the oven and use it in gluten free baking.

I have not had much success with my leftover almond meal in the past.  I had always tried making baked goods, but could never really get anything to bind.

Then an idea came to me.  Make some energy bites.  The dates helped with the binding.  Success!

These are vegan, dairy free, grain free and gluten free. I would love to hear other success stories when it comes to re-purposing leftover meal.  Please share in the comments!

Recipe Notes

This also would work with leftover almond meal as well. I would like to note that these are mildly sweet, so if you like an extra sweet flavor you probably want to add a few tablespoons of liquid sweetener. I liked them just the way they were.

Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas. Nut free, gluten free and vegan.  This may be the easiest snack you ever make.  Seriously.  You need to try them asap!

First, I found Kale Chips, and I thought I was in love.  Then it was Cauliflower Popcorn.  But this snack beats them all hands down.

It will satisfy your sweet craving without adding the pounds.  Even my daughter, Meadow, who claims to hate all beans, ate them.

In fact, she grabbed the bowl away and took off with it!  Man, she is a sneaky one sometimes! It was gone pretty darn fast.  I am roasting another batch as I type this.

Here is a little video of how to make them.  For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
