Under 30 mins & Just 7 Ingredients are all you need to make these delicious healthy, packed with good fats No Bake Almond & Tahini Energy Bites.
It’s Friday finally!! This week seemed shorter for some reason. I have been fighting cold for the last 4 days and in between drinking turmeric-ginger milk, eating soups I have gone through so many boxes of kleenex wipes and to be honest these bites were the highlight of my week as not many things taste good when you are constantly coughing and have mucus coming out! 😛
I love having healthy snacks around me but after spending way too much money on storebought snacks, I realised that it’s much cheaper and faster to make at home and I get to customize them as per my taste! So here we are withanother energy bites recipe after my favorite LENTIL ENERGY BITES.
Today’s bites needs just 7 ingredients:
- Almonds
- Dates
- Tahini paste
- Cinnamon powder
- Salt
- Cocoa powder
- Sesame seeds for rolling
Just simple, whole ingredients and everything is blended together and then rolled into balls. They are so good even without rolling them in sesame seeds but I like the little extra crunch sesame seeds provide.
I keep them stored in airtight container in fridge and whenever I am hungry for snacks, I just pop one out of the container. They are all sorts of good ->
- Fudgy
- Chewy
- With a little bite from small crushed pieces of almonds.
They are perfect as after workout snack but to be honest, I have been eating them first thing in the morning as I am always starving as soon as I wake up! And they are my guiltless before bed snack! 😛

I’ve been making this recipe for over ten years and it has been a favorite where ever I go. Whether in my children’s lunches years ago, or field trips, family parties, sport events, even at the beach. Super easy to make!
Amazing recipe!I will try it.
Any substitute for tahini paste?
You can take sesame seeds and grind them into a paste. That is equal to tahini 🙂
