Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 10 medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup vegan protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the pitted medjool dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a paste-like consistency.
Add rolled oats, almond butter, vegan chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor. Process until the mixture is well combined and sticky. If the mixture is too dry, add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and fold in the chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, and dark chocolate chips.
Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the protein bites for at least 1 hour before serving to allow them to firm up.
Store the protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for longer storage.
