Honey Banana Oat Energy Bites

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Servings 12 energy bites

Calories 90kcal

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas mashed
• 2 cups rolled oats
• ¼ cup Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
• ¼ cup nut butter (e.g., almond butter, peanut butter)
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• pinch of salt

Instructions

• Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl. Ensure that the bananas are thoroughly mashed, as this will act as the binding agent for the energy bites.
• Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey, nut butter, and, if you like, the optional vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine all the wet ingredients.
• Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. This will provide the texture, flavor, and nutritional variety to your energy bites.
• Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients together until you have a cohesive mixture. Ensure that all the oats are evenly coated.
• Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to form into energy bites.
• Shape Energy Bites: After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. With clean hands, scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. You should get approximately 12 energy bites.
• Store or Enjoy: You can either enjoy your energy bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later consumption.
• Workout Fuel: Grab a couple of these Honey Banana Oat Energy Bites before your workout for a quick and natural energy boost. They're also great as a post-workout snack or anytime you need a healthy pick-me-up.

Note: You can customize these energy bites by adding other ingredients such as chia seeds, protein powder, or coconut flakes to suit your taste and nutritional preferences. Make sure to adjust the honey and nut butter quantities to achieve your desired level of sweetness and binding.

These Honey Banana Oat Energy Bites are not only a delicious treat but also a convenient source of energy for active individuals. Enjoy your workout with a burst of natural sweetness and nourishment!

Honey-Roasted Chickpeas Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes minutes

Total Time 40 minutes minutes

Servings 4

Ingredients

• 2 cans chickpeas
• 2 tbsp Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp cumin ground
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper ground
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
• In a mixing bowl, combine Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey, olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Stir well to form a smooth mixture.
• Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the bowl with the honey and spice mixture. Toss until all the chickpeas are evenly coated.
• Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced to allow for even roasting.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 35-40 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy. Make sure to shake the pan or stir the chickpeas every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
• Once the chickpeas are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
• Once cooled, transfer the honey-roasted chickpeas to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy as a tasty snack on their own or as a topping for salads, soups, or yogurt.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Note that the chickpeas may lose some of their crispness over time.
