How to Prepare Gingerbread Protein Bites [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Place the Medjool dates, coconut oil, and molasses to in a food processor and blend until fairly smooth. If the dates are dry, add 1 tablespoon of water.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until mixed, stopping to scrape down the sides when required.
  3. Form the mixture into spheres with very wet hands, because the dough is super sticky. Bites should be roughly 1 inch in diameter. Place in the freezer to set and to store.
