Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder or strong coffee granules
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup smooth nut butter (almond or peanut)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tablespoons water or milk (as needed for binding)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a medium bowl. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
  2. Add the honey (or maple syrup), nut butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Begin mixing with a spoon or your hands. The mixture will look dry at first.
  4. Add water or milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the dough holds together when pressed. You want a firm, slightly sticky consistency.
  5. If using, stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  6. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  7. Place the finished energy bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  9. Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • If you use strongly brewed coffee instead of espresso powder, reduce the liquid added slightly.
  • Adjust the sweetener to your preference depending on the flavor of your protein powder.
  • These snacks hold their shape best when kept cool.
