These Gingerbread Energy Bites are a totally satisfying healthy snack! Feel free to add a bit of protein powder (1-2 scoops) if you wish!
Place the almonds and oats in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles a very fine crumb. Add the hemp seeds, molasses, almond or cashew butter, dates, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and sea salt. Process until the mixture is well combined, smooth and sticks together, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula half way through.
Add the almond milk one tablespoon at a time until the mixture just sticks together and easily rolls into a ball: you may not need all of the milk.
Roll 2 teaspoons of the mixture into a ball using the palms of your hands and roll each ball in either the ground almonds, chopped almonds or the hemp seeds. Set aside and repeat with the remaining mixture.
Store in a covered container the refrigerator for 1 week or freezer for up to 2 months.
