Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cacao powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well blended.
In a separate small bowl or microwave-safe container, gently heat the almond butter and honey together for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave until you can easily mix them. Stir well to combine.
Pour the almond butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything thoroughly until a sticky and well-combined mixture forms.
Add the dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and unsweetened shredded coconut to the blend. Mix again until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using your hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a bite-sized ball. Place each rolled ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the protein bites firm up.
Once they are set, store the gluten-free nutty chocolate protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
