Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup coffee grounds (preferably coarse)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, coffee grounds, chocolate protein powder, and sea salt. Stir until well blended.
    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
      Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir well until everything is combined and forms a thick, sticky dough. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips at this stage.
        Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes, which will make it easier to handle when rolling into balls.
          Shape Energy Bites: Once chilled, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is shaped into energy bites.
            Store: Place the energy bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
              Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes | Servings: About 12-15 bites
