How can something gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan boost energy? One bite of these, and you’ll see! While they make a great snack, they’re also just sweet enough to satisfy any dessert craving. Use your favorite nut or seed butter, and if you’re feeling fancy, roll the bites in cocoa powder, cinnamon, or toasted coconut. Recipe adapted from The Kitchn.
