Gingerbread cookies made easy!
We love all things gingerbread, especially this time of year (just ask the many fans of our Cinnamon Chai granola -- we’ve been told it tastes just like a gingersnap cookie!).
To bring holiday cheer to the clean ingredient convenience of energy balls, we whipped up these vegan, raw, no-bake superfood-packed Gingerbread Energy Balls. Each bite is reminiscent of a fresh baked gingerbread house, and is brimming with fragrant chai spices. Naturally sweetened with a touch of molasses and maple syrup -- these clean cookie bites are a crowd pleaser all season long!
