How to make pecan pie energy bites

Step 1: Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to combine everything together to form a thick batter.

Step 2: Use a mini cookie scoop to drop balls of batter onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Roll each ball with your hands to smooth out the edges.

Kitchen tips

I find a 1.5 tablespoon sized mini cookie scoop to be the perfect size for making energy balls. It also makes the process go a lot quicker!

Step 3: Refrigerate the energy bites until they are firm to the touch. Transfer leftovers to an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
