Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (dairy-free)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, and salt. Mix well to ensure these dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, forming a thick dough.
Fold the mini chocolate chips into the mixture, making sure they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, take portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands.
Place the rolled bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the mixture has been used, chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them set.
Once chilled, the Nut-Free Almond Chocolate Protein Bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
