    Chocolate, Hemp Seed, and Almond Pulp Energy Bites {Raw, Vegan, and Gluten-Free}

    Published Mar 26, 2014

    The beginning of strawberry season has had me on a continual smoothie kick. I've been freezing and blending them with homemade almond milk, honey tangerine segments, frozen blueberries, banana, and a couple of new-to-me smoothie ingredients: coconut butter and hemp seed.

    jar of stone ground coconut

    seeds in bowl

    Those two newbies helped to inspire these little bites, which are an easy and tasty way to use up the pulp left over from making nut milk.

    ingredients on baking tray

    Coconut butter (also called coconut manna) is different from coconut oil. Made by grinding coconut meat into a paste, the texture is closer to stiff peanut butter and tastes sweet and rich. I bought a jar of it several years ago out of curiosity, but, not knowing what to do with it, spent the next two years moving it around the fridge until I finally admitted defeat and relegated it to the compost. But then last month I was reintroduced to the stuff through a new favorite blog, Healthy Seasonal Recipes by Katie Webster, who blended it into a tropical libation. Her Monkeylada Smoothies blend coconut butter and coconut water with banana, pineapple, and cashews (how good do those look?!). Katie has worked as a food stylist, recipe developer, and contributing editor for EatingWell Magazine for over a decade, so the pictures and recipes on her blog are totally pro. She is my hero. (Also her Sweet Potato Chipotle Cheddar Soup is pretty much the best thing ever.)

    ingredients in a blender

    So I gave coconut butter another chance (with a new jar, of course), and am I ever glad I did. Not only does a tablespoon of the stuff make smoothies extra thick and luscious, it creates a rich base for these little chocolatey bites. I was lucky enough to find Ostara's Berkeley-made coconut butter at Good Earth Natural Foods, but there are other brands available at healthy foodie stores as well. You can also make it yourself with a sturdy food processor or blender.

    The second new ingredient that has been featuring in daily smoothies are hemp seeds. My friend Lea brought some over the other night and tossed them into a green salad. Like the coconut butter, I'd written off hemp seeds long ago when I tried making hemp seed milk and deemed it inferior to nut milk – thin and slightly bitter. But mixed into a salad, they added substance and mild nuttiness. As a bonus, hemp seeds apparently contain the ideal balance of fatty acids for the human body. So I started throwing a couple tablespoons into smoothies every morning, and am now addicted to the body and uniquely nutty flavor that they add.

    energy ball in bowl of seeds

    I have a continual influx of almond pulp left over from making milk, and there are only so many brownies and crackers a person can eat. So my cousin suggested that I turn the pulp into energy bites. Inspired by this recipe from Sweet Freedom, I stuck a cup of almond pulp in the food processor and started chucking in other ingredients – coconut butter and oil, hemp seeds, raw cacao powder, maple syrup, a dash of salt and vanilla – until the dough tasted just right. I rolled the mixture into balls, which I rolled in hemp seeds.

    seeds on energy balls

    To my delight, they tasted a little like chocolate cake crossed with a power bar. The moisture in the almond pulp gives the bites a pleasingly soft texture, and the coconut butter and oil add richness and make the balls shape-able. The maple adds subtle sweetness, and the hemp seeds give them a nutty bite. In fact, they taste a lot like these cheesecakes, in a more portable and less creamy form. In spite of their healthy flavor, my nephew downed twelve of them in a row at a recent family gathering, much to my surprise.

    I've made these several more times and they are always a hit, especially at parties. Healthy foodies are always psyched to learn that they are vegan, gluten-free, and sans refined sugar. They keep well in the fridge, though for how long I'm not sure - they keep getting devoured within a day or two.

    Though I don't exactly consider them a stand-in for real dessert, I like having these around for post-meal chocolate cravings or mid-day snack attacks.

    Chocolate, Hemp, and Almond Pulp Energy Bites {Raw, Vegan, and Gluten-Free}

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    A tasty way to boost your energy!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Total: 20 minutes
    Servings: 36 to 48 1" bites.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup packed almond pulp (6 ounces / 175 grams)
    • 1/2 cup maple syrup (6 ounces / 175 grams)
    • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder), plus another 1/4 cup or so for rolling the bites (1.25 ounces / 35 grams)
    • 1/4 cup raw, hulled hemp seeds, plus another 1/2 cup or so for rolling the bites (1 ounce / 30 grams)
    • 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (1 ounce / 25 grams)
    • 1/4 cup raw coconut butter (2 ounces / 55 grams)
    • 1/4 cup raw coconut oil (2 ounces / 55 grams)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean)
    • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

    Simple Almond Milk (makes 8-10 cups) (this milk will keep, refrigerated, for up to five days)

    • 2 cups whole, raw almonds, soaked in cool water for 8-24 hours
    • 8-10 cups cool (preferably filtered)water

    Instructions

    • Combine all ingredients (almond pulp, maple syrup, cacao powder, hemp seeds, oats, coconut butter, coconut oil, vanilla, and salin the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine and break up the oats. Scoop into 1" balls and roll between your palms to round. (If the mixture is soft or sticky, chill it until handleable.)
    • Place the extra cacao powder in a small bowl, and the hempseed in another bowl. Roll some balls in each to coat. (Note: balls rolled in cacao powder may absorb the powder, so you'll want to re-roll them just before serving to pretty them up.) Place the bites on a tray or small rimmed baking sheet. Serve at room temperature, or chill. The bites should keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them airtight for longer storage.

    Simple Almond Milk

    • Drain the soaked almonds, rinse, and drain again. Place them in a blender with 3 cups of the filtered water. Blend on low, gradually increasing the speed to high and adding another cup of the water, until the almonds are broken down into a creamy, thick mixture. Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag and into a large bowl, squeezing the bejeezus out of the almonds until you can't squeeze anymore. Stir in the remaining 4-6 cups of filtered water, depending on how thick you want your milk (I use 10 cups total for smoothies, but 8 cups is a better consistency for putting in coffee or tea.) Pour into jars and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

    Notes

    The almond pulp here should be squeezed as dry as possible until crumbly but moist. I've given my current Simple Almond Milk recipe down below. I used straight up almond pulp, but I'm sure other nut pulps will work, too. When made with fresh nut pulp, the bites should keep in the fridge for up to a week.
    I use both coconut butter and coconut oil in this recipe since I have both around, but you could probably get away with only one or the other if you didn't want to purchase both. Coconut butter is made differently from coconut oil, and has a different taste and texture. I used Ostara brand, but you can also make your own by simply processing shredded coconut in a blender or food processor for 15 minutes. If you don't have coconut butter, you can probably do without it by adding a little extra coconut oil, or
    nut or seed butter, and perhaps more hemp seed or oats.
    This is a recipe that should lend itself well to variations. Try adding cinnamon and a pinch of chile, or some finely ground coffee. Trade the oats for shredded coconut. Add other nuts or seeds.
    I like these best at cool room temperature, when just slightly softened. I like the ones rolled in hemp seeds best, but rolling some in cacao powder makes a pretty contrast: the choice is yours.
    All ounce measurements are by weight.
    Nutritional values are based on one of thirty six bites.

            I bet that would work! You could probably add a splash of nut milk to make up for the lost moisture in the nut pulp. Please let me know if you try it, I'd love to add that variation on to the recipe!

      As I type this, I am laying on the couch attempting to recover from eating too many of these debilitating chocolate balls. DANGER to those making these. Please know thyself and your level of willpower in not eating tasty things! If it were not for my body protesting so, I don't think they would have made it to the fridge, or even ball form. In fact, the only reason I roll these up into balls is to slow down the process of consuming the mix. It's easy to eat the mix without making the balls:

      # Get spoonful of mix directly from food processor
      # Dip in hemp seeds and/or cocoa
      # Eat directly from spoon
      # Repeat until you run out of mix or your body won't let you eat anymore

      If you are at familiar with the children author Arnold Lobel's "Frog and Toad" - then you might have read the story "Cookies." This story embodies what happens when we make these chocolate balls. Although I'm generally Frog, and my spouse identifies with Toad,
      in this case, I am always Toad and my spouse is Frog. If you are unfamiliar with the story, the gist is that Toad bakes some cookies, and takes them to his friend Frog's house. They can't stop eating the cookies because they are so good. Eventually Frog devises a scheme to rid them of the cookies so they don't eat them all.
      While I generally thought of it as just a story, through my own experience (with this recipe), I have come to understand it as its true form - a fable.

      What is more, our almond milk recipe makes exactly 1 cup of almond meal to use in this. It is my destiny to eat these. I don't know if I should curse you for creating these or tell you how much I love these. I think both! I curse as I lay upon the couch, but praise when I'm devouring them.

      Thank you for these though, they are indeed a perfect dessert for me, even though I know they are designed as a snack! Extremely tasty.

      - Mike

        Also, I only know that they last 1 night in the fridge. I think it's like those commercials about the tootsie roll pop.

        How many days do the chocolate bites last in the fridge?

    Heirloom tomatoes are getting good in California r Heirloom tomatoes are getting good in California right now and I’m looking forward to making this rustic tomato tart ASAP. 🍅

Flaky gluten-free pie crust melds with a cheesy base and ripe roasted tomato slices. Bring this beauty to a potluck or enjoy slices with a glass of bubbly for an appetizer or a light meal. ✨

    Paleo Vegan Berry Peach Cobbler 🫐🍑 This rus Paleo Vegan Berry Peach Cobbler 🫐🍑

This rustic summer fruit dessert combines berries and peaches with floofy #glutenfree biscuits. Swapping in finely ground @go_raw organic sprouted pumpkin seeds in place of almond flour makes this nut-free as well. Pumpkin seeds give the biscuits a lovely green hue and loads of buttery flavor. Don’t forget the ice cream! 

Fruit:
1 ¼ pounds peaches or nectarines, in thick wedges (4 cups)
4 ounces (1 cup) blueberries
3 tablespoons (30 g) maple syrup
2 teaspoons tapioca flour
pinch fine sea salt

Biscuits:
½ cup (75 g) cassava or GF AP flour
½ cup (70 g) @go_raw sprouted pumpkin seeds, finely ground
3 tablespoons (30 g) maple sugar or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons (56 g) cold, unsalted butter or vegan butter in ¼-inch dice
¼ cup (60 g) coconut yogurt
¼ cup (60 g) plant milk 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

for finishing:
2 teaspoons maple or coconut sugar
¼ teaspoon cardamom or cinnamon
1 tablespoon plant milk
plant-based vanilla ice cream, for serving

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400ºF.

In a large bowl, toss together the peach slices, maple syrup, tapioca flour, and salt. Scrape into a baking dish (7x10” oval or 9” pie plate) and bake until the fruit is warm and juicy, 15-20 minutes.

Whisk together the cassava and pumpkin seed flours, maple sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter bits and rub with your fingers until the butter is somewhat worked in with some pea-sized bits remaining.

In a small bowl, stir together the 2 teaspoons maple sugar and the cinnamon for topping the biscuits.

Place the yogurt, milk, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Place over a low flame and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot and steamy. Pour the hot dairy mixture into the flour/butter mixture and quickly but gently stir with a flexible silicone spatula until just combined. Scoop small lumps of dough over the fruit. Brush with the milk and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake the cobbler until the biscuits are golden on top and cooked through and the fruit is bubbling vigorously, 20-30 minutes. Serve warm.

These GF shortcake biscuits are tender and buttery thanks to a blend of gluten-free flours (almond, oat, and rice) plus butter and cream. I’ve included dairy-free and vegan options too! 

✨Tip: if you don’t have any whipped cream on hand, use thick coconut yogurt for a tasty dairy free option like I did here. 

Bojon appétit my loves!

I love serving this up with herb yogurt sauce, chopped cucumber, tomato, and a drizzle of lemon. These are easy to make and they use up SO MUCH zucchini!

    Just got back from a dreamy trip in Northern Calif Just got back from a dreamy trip in Northern California! We stayed in a cabin off the grid right next to a river. Swam in bracing cold clear water every day and ate lots of yummy things! 

My cousin Joelle came to visit and brought loads of fresh zucchini from her garden. Now I’m dreaming of this gluten-free chocolate zucchini cake with Matcha cream cheese frosting from my book that I shared on my blog a few years back. 

Swipe to see how it’s made!
