Chef's Tips

For a smoother texture, soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes before processing. Drain well before using.

Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sea salt to your taste.

Other nuts, such as almonds or pecans, can be substituted for walnuts.

These energy bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
