Peanut Energy Snacks (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 cup honey or swap it with date or coconut syrup.
02 -
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (use vegan ones if you'd like).
03 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds.
04 -
1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats (if needed).
05 -
1/3 cup of your preferred protein powder.
06 -
1/3 cup flaxseed meal.
07 -
1/2 cup creamy, natural peanut butter (or try almond butter instead).
08 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
09 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
10 -
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (leave out if you don’t want it).
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, protein powder, flaxseed, oats, cinnamon, and chia seeds into a food processor. Blend it all until you’ve got a smooth mix. Add in coconut (if you're using it) and chocolate chips last, then pulse a few more times. Roll the dough into 10 small balls—use your hands or a medium cookie scoop. Store in a sealed container.
02 -
Put the wet ingredients in a bowl and mix them up. Throw in the dry ingredients and stir—it might take your hands to get it all combined and workable. Once it sticks together, roll the dough into bite-sized balls.
03 -
Keep them in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for as long as two months.
# Notes:
01 -
Skip the protein powder and replace with extra oats if the mixture feels sticky.
02 -
Go nut-free by swapping peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
03 -
Easily turn this mixture into bars instead of balls!
