Notes

Now for some quick tips and variations

» Once prepared, these no-cook apricot bites will store well in the fridge for two weeks and 1 month in the freezer.

» Please use a food processor for best results.

» If the pulsed mixture feels sticky, add an extra teaspoon of coconut. Coconut will absorb the moisture and take care of the sticky dough.

» Allergic to almonds? Try cashews instead.

» No-cook energy bites won't bind? No worries, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or any nut butter, and that should do the trick.

» Feel free to leave raisins out if you prefer moderately sweet bites.

» For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder after pulsing the ingredients.

» Vanilla essence can be substituted with almond extract.

» I have not added sugar to these energy balls, as they are naturally sweet. But feel free to add 1-2 teaspoons of honey/sugar and adjust to taste.
