In the bowl of a food processor, add all the ingredients except the flaky sea salt for finishing. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and sticky. You might need to scrape down the sides a few times with a spatula to ensure everything is mixed evenly. The consistency should start to come together, sticking to itself.
As you process, keep an eye on the texture. The mixture may seem crumbly at first, but don’t worry! Test it by squeezing a bit between your fingers. If it holds together, it’s ready! If it’s too crumbly, you can add a tiny bit of water or more maple syrup to help it bind.
Once you have the right consistency, use your hands to roll approximately one tablespoon of the mixture into balls. I love how easy it is to shape these bites; they fit perfectly in the palm of my hand.
After rolling the bites, sprinkle each one with a little flaky sea salt. This step adds a beautiful crunch and enhances the flavors, making them truly irresistible.
Next, place the energy bites in a reusable silicone zip-top bag. You can store them in the fridge for up to one week, or if you prefer, place them in the freezer for up to three months. I often keep some in the freezer; they taste fantastic straight out!
Finally, enjoy these Salted Maple Pecan Pie Energy Bites any time you need a quick snack. They’re perfect for pre-workout fuel or an afternoon treat. I recommend keeping a batch on hand for when those sweet cravings hit!
