Pecan Pie Energy Bites

These Pecan Pie Energy Bites are paleo, vegan, made with only a handful of simple + clean ingredients, and they taste JUST LIKE pecan pie. Don’t ask how… just trust.

Pecans have a sweet, buttery flavor on their own (despite being full of fiber, healthy fat, and nutrients + minerals like copper, manganese, and zinc) so I really didn’t have to add much for this recipe to turn out super delish 👏🏼

I especially love these Pecan Pie Energy bites for a pre-workout boost, a post-lunch sweet treat, or an afternoon snack!
