- Add coconut flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until doughy.
- Chill in the fridge for an hour or freezer for 20 minutes (makes it easier for rolling)

Notes
- ** If you choose not to soak the cashews, you may not need much coconut flour. start with 1/4 cup and add 1 tbsp at a time if the batter appears to be too wet.
- *** You can also roll in Keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit powder.
- **** Soaking nuts make the texture of these energy bites fudgier. Make sure you drain it well otherwise it could make the cookie dough texture very wet and hard to form
