This recipe combines the sweetness of chufa with the tangy touch of blackcurrant, creating tasty and nutritious energy bites, perfect for a quick and energizing snack.
If the dates are a bit dry, soak them in hot water for about 5-10 minutes to soften them. Drain well before using.
Place the pitted dates in a food processor and blend until you get a sticky and smooth paste, scraping down the sides if necessary.
In a medium bowl, mix the chufa flakes, oats, freeze-dried blackcurrant powder, seeds, and a pinch of salt.
Add the date paste to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well until all ingredients are well combined.
Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form balls about 2-3 cm in diameter.
If desired, roll the energy bites in shredded coconut, chufa flour, extra freeze-dried blackcurrant powder, or chopped oats.
Place the energy bites on a plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
Add a teaspoon of shiitake or hericium powder for a nutritional boost.
