Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural creamy almond butter
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 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

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, salt, and cinnamon. Use a rubber spatula to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until a thick batter forms, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  2. Form Batter Balls: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Using a 1.5-tablespoon sized mini cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared sheet. Then, gently roll each ball with your hands to create smooth, rounded edges.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-15 second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate mixture is fully melted and smooth. Take care not to overheat or burn the chocolate.
  4. Drizzle Chocolate: Using a spoon or fork, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the tops of the energy bites, adding a sweet finishing touch and cinnamon roll-inspired look.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet with the drizzled energy bites into the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the bites are firm and the chocolate is set.
  6. Store Properly: Once hardened, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh and ready to enjoy anytime.

Notes

  • Use natural, unsweetened almond butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • The salt balances sweetness but can be adjusted based on dietary preference.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder and white chocolate chips are plant-based.
  • These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust cinnamon amount to taste for a milder or stronger cinnamon flavor.
