Ingredients
Scale
Energy Bites
- 1 cup natural creamy almond butter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
Topping
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly combine the ingredients until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking. Using a 1.5 tablespoons mini cookie scoop, portion out balls of batter evenly onto the baking sheet.
- Shape Bites: Roll each ball gently with your hands to smooth out the edges and create uniform, compact bites.
- Melt Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 10-15 second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Take care not to burn the chocolate.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over the tops of the energy bites to add a sweet finishing touch.
- Chill Bites: Place the baking sheet with the drizzled energy bites into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm and set.
- Store Properly: Transfer the chilled energy bites to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use natural creamy almond butter without added sugars or oils for best texture and flavor.
- The salt balances the sweetness and enhances the cinnamon flavor but can be adjusted to taste or omitted for low-sodium diets.
- These energy bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
- For a vegan option, ensure the protein powder and white chocolate chips are plant-based.
- Rolled oats can be replaced with gluten-free oats if needed.
