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
White Chocolate Drizzle
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix the Batter: Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients together until a thick, uniform batter forms, ensuring all components are well combined.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking. Use a 1.5-tablespoon sized mini cookie scoop to drop balls of batter evenly spaced on the sheet.
- Shape the Bites: Using your hands, roll each ball to smooth out rough edges, forming neat and compact energy bites ready for topping.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 10-15 second increments, stirring each time, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Take care to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Using a spoon or small spatula, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the tops of each energy bite to add sweetness and visual appeal.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet with the drizzled energy bites into the refrigerator. Let chill for 1 hour or until the bites are firm and the chocolate has hardened.
- Store Properly: Transfer the hardened energy bites into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for longer preservation.
Notes
- Use natural creamy almond butter without added sugar or salt for best results.
- If you prefer a lower sodium option, reduce the salt quantity or omit it, but note it enhances flavors.
- Vanilla protein powder works best for flavor balance, but any protein powder can be substituted.
- For a vegan version, ensure white chocolate chips and protein powder are plant-based.
- Oats can be substituted with gluten-free oats if needed.
