High-Protein Seedy Energy Bites (Raw, Flour-Free)

These seedy energy bites are rich in plant protein, fibre, and healthy fats to help sustain energy, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce mid-day crashes. Warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger support digestion while adding a comforting flavour.

• 1 cup soft Medjool dates (pitted)
• ½ cup raw walnut pieces
• 1/3 cup shredded unsweetened organic coconut
• 3/4 cup mixed super seeds (chia, ground flax, hemp hearts, sesame seeds)
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• ¼ cup almond butter (or tahini or pumpkin seed butter)
• 3 tbsp hemp hearts (additional for coating)
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground cardamom
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp sea salt 
• Optional: 1/4 cup rolled oats if you want a softer, more traditional texture
• 1–2 tbsp warm water if needed

Instructions

1. Add dates to a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste.

2. Add walnuts and pumpkin seeds; pulse until finely chopped but still slightly textured.

4. Process until the mixture comes together into a thick dough. Add warm water one tablespoon at a time if needed.

5. Roll into bite-sized balls (about 1 tbsp each).  Tip, dip fingers in warm water to prevent batter from sticking
