Instructions
 

  • Crush the cornflakes with a spoon (or use clean hands; an easier method) and keep aside. Soften the dates in a microwave (if they are hard and a bit dry) for a few seconds and make a paste in a blender or food processor.
  • Chop the nuts coarsely (you may make them into fine crumbs or leave them coarsely chopped like I did, as I like to bite into bits of nuts in the ladoos!!).
  • Mix all 3 in a bowl with a spoon or easier yet, use your hand to mix and knead them into a well-incorporated mixture. Take small portions of the mixture in your hands and roll them into small balls or ladoos.
  • For a variation (it looks good too), you can roll them in desiccated coconut. Bite into one of them (well, you deserve this healthy treat!!), serve to your family and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes

  • You can add mini chocolate chips in them as an additional treat for kids.
  • Along with or instead, you can use pistachios or even peanuts in the energy bites.
  • For an additional coconutty flavor, stir in a little desiccated coconut in the mixture before making them into balls or ladoos.

Additional Tips

  • For extra crunch and a toasty flavor, lightly roast the cashews and almonds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the mixture.
  • If your dates are a bit dry or tough, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and pat dry before blending—this will make the bites softer and easier to shape.
  • To create fun variations, try rolling the finished bites in finely crushed pistachios, cacao nibs, or extra desiccated coconut for added texture and visual appeal.
  • Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for up to a month; they’re delicious straight from the fridge or freezer for a cool, chewy treat.
