Sunbutter and Jelly Energy Bites

In a small saucepan, heat the raspberries and lemon juice over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally. While cooking, crush the raspberries. Cook until raspberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in seeds. Set aside to cool.

In a food processor or blender, pulse together SunButter, oats, sugar and protein powder, if using, until combined. Scrape mixture into a shallow container.

Gently spread the jam through the mixture but don’t fully combine. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
