I have been keeping the fridge stocked with these little blueberry crumble bites lately, and I am in snack heaven! If you have been hanging around the blog for any amount of time you are sure to know that I am a snacker. My kids are snackers….and my husband is a snacker. We go through a lot of snacks. Keeping up with the snacking habits can become a little time consuming, especially when you are avoiding processed foods.
Enter blueberry crumble bites. These little balls contain only 4 ingredients, take only 10 minutes to put together and are absolutely delicious! They really do taste like blueberry crumble (I promise), and they are the perfect little afternoon pick-me-up when you need a little burst of energy.
If you are snackers too, be sure to check out these other quick treats – Peanut Butter Choc Chip Bars and Chocolate Coconut Roughs.
Blueberry stained fingers are the cutest 🙂
I love hearing from you so make sure to leave a comment if you give these a go. Happy eating.
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 7 mejdool dates pitted
- 1/2 cup freeze dried blueberries
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pop the cashews in the blender and pulse until crumbly
- Add the dates and vanilla and pulse until the mixture comes together, and forms a ball
- Add the freeze dried blueberries, and give a quick pulse to incorporate
- Take 1 tsp of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place on a tray lined with plastic wrap. Repeat with the rest of the mixture until it is all done (you should get about 20 balls). Pop the balls on the tray into the freezer
- Once frozen, remove from the tray and store in a ziplock back, or an airtight container (see notes for more storage tips)
These can be stored in the fridge for about a week. If you are like me, and make big batches - they store really well in the freezer for a couple of months
Pinned! We are snackers, too, so I’m definitely going to make a double batch and store the extras in the freezer – Yum! 🙂
I hope you love them Kathryn!
Blueberry Crumble? Count me in! I love that there’s only 4 ingredients in these too!
Thanks Rebecca! The smaller the ingredient list, the better, in my mind 🙂
These would be good for my daughter. She is a huge snacker too.
Oh kids are ridiculous when it comes to snacks Karissa, aren’t they! (not that I can talk – I am a constant grazer!)
Omgsh my son would LOVE these! We’ve been eating “That’s It” bars a ton and I love feeding him stuff that includes only (or mostly) fruit!
Ooh I haven’t heard of ‘thats it’ bars, we are big fans of lara bars (and I am guessing they are similar?) – I will have to check them out! Always good to have some healthy alternatives on hand at the bottom of the diaper bag 🙂
These look so good! I love anything blueberry!
Thanks Bonnie! I am a total blueberry addict too 🙂 Although I have a feeling I am going to be a bit over them by the time this blueberry season ends (we may have gone a bit overboard!)
Good one…
Hello gorgeous! You always make me feel so motivated to cook and bake with these delicious sounding recipes!
Aww thanks Shannon! That just made my morning 🙂 Thanks for your lovely words!
This looks so good! I have a favorite blueberry crumble recipe that I love. I can’t wait to try your prattle version! How clever!
Thanks Stacey, I hope you enjoy 🙂
These look and sound so delicious!! I need to get better at making healthy snacks to have on hand for when I’m “Starving”… I think I’ll whip some of these up this weekend!
Oh I hope you do Jennifer! I am ridiculous when I get to that ‘starving’ stage 🙂 I swear I could eat half the contents of the fridge!
looks delicious. I love blueberries and hopefully am going blueberry picking this weekend! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh enjoy blueberry picking, so much fun! We haven’t gone fruit picking yet this summer (except in the backyard), definitely have to rectify that before all the yummy fruit disappears 🙂
These look amazing!! And…now, I’m hungry!
Haha thanks Roxanne!
These sound delicious! I bet my husband would love them!
Thanks Debra! I made 20 as little snacks for everyone for the week – my husband took the entire container to work and ate them all – apparently he enjoyed them 🙂
I love anything with dates! I’m definitely going to have to make these soon (I’m SUCH a snacker!) Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Very welcome Lisa! I am totally ridiculous when it comes to snacking 🙂
Yummy! These look like something my kids would love for sure, I’ll be pinning to try later!
Thanks Michelle! I hope they enjoy – mine absolutely loved them!!
These look absolutely incredible!! I love finding new energy bite recipes. I’m also allergic to almonds, but not cashews (most recipes tend to call for almond flour). Appreciate that you kept it at 4 ingredients too!

Thanks Alessandra 🙂 That would be so annoying being allergic to almonds – they tend to be in everything these days as an alternative to peanuts! I am a huge fan of 3-4 ingredient snacks – they have to be quick and easy for me to have the motivation to make them! Hope you enjoy
Oooh I love freeze dried fruit, but have never had blueberries, these look so good, perfect for a post workout boost!
Definitely good for some energy post workout Annie!! Freeze dried blueberries are so delicious (but messy if your kids get hold of the whole bag – mine had stained hands and faces for the rest of the day)
These look INCREDIBLE! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.
Very welcome Maggie!! Thanks for popping over and your lovely words 🙂
I will be making these after work tonight! I love simple recipes that have less than 5 “real” ingredients. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you enjoy! I am a total fan of quick and easy, minimum ingredient recipes – I am way more likely to make them if it only takes 5 minutes while the kids are napping 🙂 Thanks for popping by!
Wow, great idea for a healthy snack! I would have never thought to mix dates and dried blueberries together. Sounds good!
Thanks Shauna!! Yeah I tried with fresh blueberries but it was just too moist and messy – the freeze dried are perfect, as they have a more intense flavour burst with less blueberries, and they hold together well with the dates 🙂
