Ingredients
  

1 cup raw pistachios (shelled)

1 cup pitted dates

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tablespoons rose water

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Pinch of salt

Extra chopped pistachios for coating

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by placing the raw pistachios into a food processor. Pulse them until they are finely ground but still retain some texture; aim for a consistency that is not powdered.

    Add Dates and Flavors: Next, add the pitted dates, unsweetened shredded coconut, rose water, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds (if you are including them), ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt to the food processor along with the ground pistachios.

      Blend Until Combined: Pulse the mixture until it starts to form a sticky dough. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.

        Form the Bites: Once the mixture has reached the right consistency, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions and roll them into small balls between your palms. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly with water or oil for easier handling.

          Coat the Bites: Transfer the finely chopped pistachios to a plate or shallow bowl. Roll each energy bite in the chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly coated for added crunch and flavor.

            Chill and Set: Arrange the coated energy bites on a tray lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the bites to chill for at least 30 minutes, which will help them firm up.

              Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, your Sweet Pistachio Rose Energy Bites are ready to be enjoyed! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
