ABOUT Dates and Cornflakes Energy Bites RECIPE

Healthy and crunchy energy bites are balls or ladoos made of dates, cornflakes and nuts, perfect for a mid-morning snack, as a healthy treat for kids or even as a party pleaser!!

Instructions

Gather the ingredients.
Crush the cornflakes with a spoon (or use clean hands; an easier method) and keep aside. Soften the dates in a microwave (if they are hard and a bit dry) for a few seconds and make a paste in a blender or food processor.
Chop the nuts coarsely (you may make them into fine crumbs or leave them coarsely chopped like I did, as I like to bite into bits of nuts in the ladoos!!).
Mix all 3 in a bowl with a spoon or easier yet, use your hand to mix and knead them into a well-incorporated mixture.
Take small portions of the mixture in your hands and roll them into small balls or ladoos.
For a variation (it looks good too), you can roll them in desiccated coconut.
Bite into one of them (well, you deserve this healthy treat!!), serve to your family and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
