- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
Topping
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients together until a thick batter forms.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use a 1.5 tablespoon-sized mini cookie scoop to drop balls of batter onto the baking sheet.
- Shape Energy Bites: Roll each ball with your hands to smooth out the edges for a consistent shape and texture.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt the chocolate in 10-15 second increments in the microwave, stirring each time, until fully melted. Take care not to burn the chocolate.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the tops of the energy bites for a delicious finishing touch.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet with the energy bites in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the balls are fully hardened and set.
- Store Properly: Transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
