How to Make Spiced Pecan Energy Bites

Now that you have all the ingredients, let’s dive in and make these quick and easy energy bites.

Pulse the oats and Pecan Nation Pecans in a food processor until the mixture has a flour-like consistency.

Next, add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and pulse until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Then, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and shape them into small compact balls using your hands. Avoid rolling the mixture — it crumbles easily.

Enjoy them immediately, or store your Spiced Pecan Energy Bites in the refrigerator, and grab a few whenever you need a tasty power-packed treat.

Before removing the mixture from the blender, check that all the ingredients are blended and haven’t formed pockets within the mixture. If the end consistency is too dry, add an additional teaspoon of tahini. If it’s too sticky, add extra pecans.
