Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of rolled oats 240 ml
  • ½ cup of peanut butter 120 ml
  • ½ cup of ground flaxseed 120 ml
  • ⅓ cup of honey 80 ml
  • ½ cup of chocolate chips dark, vegan (120 ml)
  • 1 tbsp of chia seeds 15 ml
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract 5 ml
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good stir.
  3. Now, pour in that lush peanut butter and honey. Don’t forget to splash in that vanilla extract for an aromatic punch.
  4. Time to mix! Blend all the ingredients well until they form a consistent mixture.
  5. Here’s the fun part! Toss in the chocolate chips and get your hands dirty. Blend them in until evenly distributed.
  6. Once mixed, place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 10-15 minutes. This makes shaping the energy bites a lot easier.
  7. After chilling, take the bowl out and start forming those delightful No-Bake Protein Gluten-Free Energy Bites using your hands. Aim for the size of a golf ball.
  8. Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  9. Let them sit in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes until they’re firm and set.
  10. Once chilled, they’re ready to be devoured!

Notes

If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash more honey or peanut butter.
Store these No-Bake Protein Gluten-Free Energy Bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
If you’re not a fan of chocolate chips, consider swapping them out for dried fruit or nuts.
These energy bites make an excellent pre or post-workout snack.
Consider pairing them with a smoothie for a quick breakfast option.
They’re also perfect for those 3 pm slumps when you need a pick-me-up.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can melt some dark chocolate and drizzle it over the top before chilling.
