Yields24 Servings

 ½ tsp fine ground sea salt
 2 tsp ground cinnamon
 1 tsp ground ginger
 ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper

Spoon one tablespoon of mixture at a time into the palm of your hands and roll into a ball. Place energy bites on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes until oats have softened and mixture has had time to meld together. Remove and enjoy!
