Cinnamon Caramel Apple Energy Bites

One thing I am always looking for is healthy snacks for work and school.  I am talking homemade snacks, not processed stuff you buy at the store that doesn't really count as food.  I am thinking about simple ingredients, minimal work and delicious taste.

So I have been wanting to make these for the last 2 weeks and finally bought all the ingredients.  Let me tell you these, are delicious.  I substituted 1 whole fresh apple, cored, for the dried apple.  I did not bother to peel it.

Other than that one change, oh and I made them tablespoon size, this is the exact recipe from the site cupcakesandkalechips.com

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup pitted dates
• 1 cup dried apples (not freeze dried, these are the chewy ones)
• ½ cup uncooked oats
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until it forms a thick paste.
2. Using about a tablespoon of the mixture, roll into balls. If you want the little bites, use about ¼ teaspoon.

Tried and tested by one of my kiddos, the neighbor and hubby, all with the thumbs up.


Enjoy!
