Fruit and Nut Energy Bites

Place chopped dates in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 cup (250 ml) of boiling water and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Drain dates and place in the bowl of a food processor along with the Redpath® Organic Granulated Sugar and orange juice. Pulse until mixture is smooth.

Transfer date mixture to a large bowl, stir in oats, walnuts, almonds, cranberries, chocolate chips, zest, and salt. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.

Using clean hands, roll mixture into 1½ inch balls (about 1 tbsp/35 g). Place coconut in a pie plate and roll each bite in coconut until coated.

Place bites in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for 1 month.
