How to Prepare Popcorn Energy Bites [Vegan]

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Pulse the apricots in your food processor until finely chopped. Add almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, almond milk, flaxseed, vanilla and salt. Pulse until a smooth, liquid-y paste forms.
  3. Add 4 cups of the popcorn and pulse just to break down the popcorn a bit. Transfer to a bowl and use a spatula or large spoon to evenly mix.
  4. Place the remaining 2 cups of popcorn in the food processor and pulse into small pieces. Transfer to a bowl.
  5. Using a small scoop or tablespoon, scoop the mixture onto your baking sheet (you’ll have about 24 balls). With slightly damp hands shape into balls and roll in the popcorn bits to coat. Place baking sheet into the fridge to firm up. You can keep the bites in the fridge, or place in the freezer for longer storage.
