5 Minute Protein Peanut Butter Energy Bites

natural drippy peanut butter (or sub almond butter)

honey (or date syrup

vanilla extract

protein powder of choice*

flaxseed meal

rolled oats (gluten free, if desired)

cinnamon

chia seeds

mini chocolate chips (vegan, if desired)

Optional

coconut

5 minute Protein Peanut Butter Energy Bites

In the bowl of a food processor, add in the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, protein powder, flaxseed meal, oats, cinnamon and chia seeds. Pulse together until well combined. Add in chocolate chips (and coconut if using) and pulse a few more times. Use a medium cookie scoop or your hands to grab dough and roll into 10 balls, place in an airtight container.

To make without food processor: add wet ingredients to a medium bowl, mix to combine. Add in dry ingredients and mix together until combined. I usually have to use my hands to mix and work with the dough. At this point you should be able to form balls that stick together. Because all peanut butter/nut butter consistencies are different and depending on what protein powder you use, you may need to add in more nut butter or sweetener to help the balls stick together.

Store in the fridge for up to 1 week, or the freezer for up to 2 months. Enjoy!

No bake protein-packed breakfast energy bites are chewy, easy to make, delicious, and loaded with healthy nutrients. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack.

No Bake Protein Breakfast Energy Bites

peanut butter (or other nut butter)

oats

protein powder, chocolate

cashews, roasted

almonds

chocolate

In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter (or nut butter), oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. 

Place cashews and slivered almonds into the bowl of a food processor, then blend until finely ground, about 1 minute. Add to peanut butter mixture, then stir using a rubber spatula until well combined.

Fold in shaved chocolate or chocolate chips. You may need to use your hands to combine it all together. If so, wet your hands slightly first to prevent sticking. 

Let mixture cool in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Then use your hands to roll out into 12 small bite-size balls. Store in an airtight container. 

Yum! I love energy bites, and these look like they are fully loaded with deliciousness! Pinning, and making for my kids (me too!) this week!
