Pecan Pie Protein Bites

These are fantastic!  I love pecans, they are the sweetest nuts on the planet and my favorite of all nuts.  It’s dangerous having them in my house, because I will eat way more of them than I should in a sitting.  They are just so addicting, what can I say.

That’s why I made these delicious Pecan Pie Protein Bites, so I can have my pecan fix, but keep it to a healthy serving.  They are packed with healthy fats, complex carbohydrates and high quality protein and fiber to fill you up and give you lots of energy.

I made these using cashew butter, but I’m sure they will be scrumptious using almond, peanut or even sunflower seed butter.  Now, if I could only find pecan butter...that would be way too dangerous though, nevermind.  Try whipping up these tasty bites to get you in the autumn spirit.
