When we wake up in the post-Thanksgiving food coma, it means HOLIDAY TIME 24/7!!! I don’t know about you, but to me it means non-stop Christmas tunes (I don’t even celebrate Christmas, but will never turn down a jolly ho-ho-holiday tune), sparkly lights and store decorations everywhere, my birthday season (woo hoo!), and shopping, shopping, shopping!

So in between all those shopping trips I know you’re going to need a ((healthy)) boost of energy that does not include some meh cookie at the mall that is SO not worth it!

Healthy Gingerbread Cookie Energy Bites

Yield: 18-20 bites

Serving Size: 1 bite

Ingredients

• 10 pitted medjool dates, soaked in water if not soft
• 2/3 cup quick oats
• 2/3 cup ground flaxseed
• 2/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Generous pinch of cloves
• 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• Optional: Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, soak medjool dates for a few minutes if not soft. Drain and discard water prior to use.
2. In a food processor, combine all ingredients. Process until mixture comes together to one ball. You may have to stop and scrape the sides along the way, then continue to process.
3. Remove dough from the processor and form into 1-inch balls (a little less than 1 tablespoon each). Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks (but I doubt they’ll last that long!).
