Description
High-Protein Monster Energy Bites are a delicious and nutritious snack packed with protein and energy, perfect for on-the-go.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1/4 cup crushed pecans
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa nibs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a spacious bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond butter, maple syrup, and almond extract until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
- Incorporate the vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, dark chocolate chunks, crushed pecans, and cocoa nibs (if desired) into the bowl. Stir thoroughly until everything is well blended.
- Allow the mixture to rest in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- After chilling, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter.
- Arrange the formed bites on a plate or tray lined with wax paper and let them chill in the refrigerator for an additional 20 minutes to firm up.
- Keep the energy bites stored in a sealed container in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for up to a week.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, ensure your protein powder is plant-based.
- Mix in a tablespoon of hemp seeds for added texture and nutrition.
