Gingerbread Energy Bites

Thumbs up for Gingerbread Energy Bites!

To kick off November I am sharing a tasty snack recipe that I like making a variation of at least once a month. These date based energy bites are relatively quick to make and the spicy ginger and molasses flavours are fitting for the wintery season we’re edging in to. 

Am going to keep the chatter on this post short but I do want to let you know that you should totally make these and bring them to your next pot-luck event or office as a surprise treat for your co-workers (those that I work with may be getting a taste of these soon... just sayin'). 

Using a scale is sooooo much easier than a measuring cup!

You're looking to make the mixture to be this kind of texture - took about 5 minutes of pulsing, scraping down the sides of the container and repeating. Totally worth the effort!
