Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup quick oats
  • ½ cup rice krispies cereal
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural creamy almond butter
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Mix together all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl using a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined, ensuring even distribution of flavors and textures.
  2. Form Balls: Use a 1.5 tablespoon size cookie scoop to drop balls of batter onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet for uniform size.
  3. Shape Bites: Roll each ball gently in your hands to smooth out the shape and create a compact energy bite.
  4. Chill to Set: Refrigerate or freeze the energy bites until firm, then transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They will keep fresh for 5 days in the fridge or 2-3 months in the freezer.

Notes

  • Use natural creamy almond butter without added sugars or oils to maintain the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the salt amount to taste depending on your preference and the saltiness of almond butter used.
  • The peppermint extract can be adjusted for a milder or stronger mint flavor.
  • For a vegan or dairy-free option, ensure the chocolate protein powder and chocolate chips are plant-based.
