Chai Spiced Energy Bites [vegan] [gluten free]

With no added sugar these Chai Spiced Energy Bites make the perfect snack or after-dinner treat.

I love these Chai Spiced Energy Bites, they are just so delicious.

With no added sugar they make the perfect snack or after-dinner treat.

I fiddled for some time adjusting the mix spices and this is my favourite blend. The pepper gives a flavourful kick, I prefer grinding it fresh.

On a hot day, these energy bites might get a bit soft so I prefer keeping them in the fridge.
