No Bake Protein Bites
Sharing this healthy treat I make every week to keep my self from reaching in the cookie jar! These delicious little bites are perfect as a healthy snack, breakfast, or even dessert to knock out that night time sweet tooth.
Servings: 12 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry oats
- ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup ground flax seeds
- ⅓ cup honey or agave
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. If mixing with a wooden spoon doesn’t work use your hands, that’s what I did.
- Roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were 1” in diameter). Story in air tight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. Double this recipe if you want to make a bigger batch.
Notes
- I took half of the dry oats and pulsed them in the food processor a couple of times, I personally think its easier to mix and roll into balls, also you get the smooth and crunchy texture over all.
- If you feel like the mixture is hard to work with while forming the balls, place the mixture in the fridge for 20 mins. (I used a mini cookie scooper to get even sized balls
- If your allergic to peanut butter you can use, almond butter,sunflower seed butter, and cashew butter.
- Using different sweeteners such as agave works great in this recipe and its vegan.
- I prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips because its not to sweet, but you can use any vegan chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butter scotch chips and also mini chocolate chips
