Recipe Background

Sometimes just having the energy to get through a busy day is worth celebrating! Celebration Energy Bites pack a lot of fuel in adorable, sprinkle-coated spheres of sweetness thanks to a creamy combination of cashew-butter and flaxseed meal. Because of the colorful sprinkles and vanilla flavoring, each bite of recharging refreshment tastes like a birthday cake, which is worth celebrating all on its own! Celebration Energy Bites don't even need an oven to come together: just a little prep work before they're cool and ready to take on the day with you! Break out the streamers and balloons, because it is going to be a good day!

Ingredients

1/2 cup cashew butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup packed fine blanched almond flour
1/4 cup flaxseed meal plus more as needed
2 tablespoons sprinkles plus more for optional rolling

Directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract to a medium bowl, mixing until well-combined and smooth.
Add in the almond flour and the flaxseed meal, mixing well until it is combined and a dough begins to form. If the dough seems too wet, add up to 1 tablespoon more of the almond flour or the flaxseed.
Fold in the sprinkles.
Using a medium cookie scoop, roll the dough into 8 balls.
Roll the balls in the remaining sprinkles.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Let the balls sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before serving.
