These Protein-packed Cashew Cookie Bites have officially become one of Mr. Grumbles's favourite gluten-free recipes.  Packed with dates, cashews and vanilla protein powder, these little bite-size cashew cookie bites keep him going when he doesn't get a chance to eat his lunch.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 14 Bites 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (130 grams) roasted salted cashews
  • 1 cup (150 grams) pitted dates
  • 50-75 grams vanilla protein powder*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients except for the vanilla extract in a food processor.  Turn on the processor for 1 -2 minutes.  Add vanilla extract and process 1 additional minute.
  2. Taking heaping tablespoons, roll mixture into balls between palms.
  3. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • *start with only 50 grams and add additional protein powder until mixture sticks together and no longer sticks to your hands.
  • If dates are too firm, simply soak them in hot water for 5 minutes.
  • If cashews are not salted, add 1 tsp of salt.  Add additional salt to your taste
  • Feel free to remove protein powder and increase the number of cashews by 1/2 cup
  • If the mixture does not stick together, add 1 tsp of water, honey or maple syrup.  Continue to add liquid slowly until mixture can be rolled into a ball.
  • I live in Florida so I store these bites in the fridge!
