Ingredients (for about 12 bites):
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup nut butter (e.g., almond butter or peanut butter)
• 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
1. Mix Ingredients:
◦ In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, protein powder, dark
chocolate chips, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well
combined.
2. Adjust Consistency:
◦ If the mixture is too dry, add a little more nut butter or a splash of almond milk. If
it’s too wet, add more oats or protein powder.
3. Roll into Bites:
◦ Use your hands to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls,
about 1 inch in diameter.
4. Chill:
◦ Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30
minutes to firm up.
5. Store:
◦ Once set, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in
the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage.
