Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup natural drippy peanut butter (or almond butter as a substitute)
- 1/4 cup honey (or date syrup/coconut syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup protein powder of choice
- 1/3 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (vegan if preferred)
- Optional: 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- In a food processor, combine the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, protein powder, flaxseed meal, oats, cinnamon, and chia seeds. Pulse until fully combined.
- Add chocolate chips (and shredded coconut if desired) and pulse a few more times.
- Use a medium cookie scoop or your hands to form the dough into approximately 10 bite-sized balls. Place them in an airtight container.
- If you don’t have a food processor, simply mix the wet ingredients (peanut butter, honey, vanilla) in a medium bowl, then add the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. If needed, use your hands to work the dough together, adjusting the consistency by adding more nut butter or sweetener.
- Store the energy bites in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to two months. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can customize these energy bites by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
- Ensure the oats and protein powder are certified gluten-free if you have a gluten sensitivity.
