Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cacao powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well blended.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl or microwave-safe container, gently heat the almond butter and honey together for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave until you can easily mix them. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Pour the almond butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything thoroughly until a sticky and well-combined mixture forms.
Step 5
Add the dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and unsweetened shredded coconut to the blend. Mix again until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Using your hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a bite-sized ball. Place each rolled ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the protein bites firm up.
Step 8
Once they are set, store the gluten-free nutty chocolate protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
