Week 4 Day 3 Fill the Freezer - Energy Bites
So I admit it. I was a little worried how I would like the Energy Bites. I have made similar recipes before and they were fine. I am not sure what about it made me apprehensive? I made only 1 batch to make sure it was something we liked. It was so good the kids and I ate almost half of it before we even rolled it into balls! I think I will make another batch again later tonight. :-)
The oddest ingredient was the flax. I have worked with it before. Trying to grind it up was the biggest challenge. Throwing 1/2 cup in the blender didn't really do a good job. I think next time I will do it in smaller batches.
We found these to be quite yummy too, and I could not go without eating at least two at a time. I loved that the recipe included the ground flax seed, which is so very good for you. I agree it is a pain to grind and can be found already ground at most larger grocery stores and also very reasonably priced online at Vitacost. I store mine in the frig because it goes rancid so quickly. I'll be making more of these for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe just finished up our batch. "sigh".
ReplyDeleteI made these but I had run out of flax seed so used wheat bran. These are so good, this was the first time I had made them but my whole family liked them.
ReplyDeleteI never thought to use bran. Very clever. I will have to remember that when I run out of flax. My tummy is gluten intolerant so I try to stay away from grains as much as possible

ReplyDeleteI am not sure. I am not diabetic. I would assume they would not be because of the honey and chocolate chips. Maybe someone with more knowledge could shine more light on the subject for you
