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

  1. Mix the Batter: Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, salt, and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly combine the ingredients until a thick, even batter forms.
  2. Scoop the Balls: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Using a 1.5 tablespoon mini cookie scoop, drop evenly sized balls of batter onto the prepared sheet.
  3. Shape the Bites: Roll each ball between your palms to smooth out any rough edges and form compact, uniform bites.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 10-15 second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Spoon or drizzle the melted white chocolate over the tops of the energy bites to add a decadent finishing touch.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet with the prepared bites into the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the bites are firm and the chocolate topping has hardened.
  7. Store Properly: Transfer the chilled energy bites into an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and firmness until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use natural creamy almond butter without added sugar or oils for the best texture and taste.
  • If preferred, reduce salt slightly or omit for a lower sodium option.
  • Vanilla protein powder boosts protein content but can be substituted with unflavored or other flavors based on preference.
  • White chocolate chips can be replaced with dark chocolate for a less sweet alternative.
  • Store energy bites in the freezer for longer shelf life and firm texture.
