Nut Butter Energy Bites
No bake energy bites. Gluten free, dairy free, can be made vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup nut butter
- 1.5 cups gluten free oats
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp granulated monkfruit sweetener (or more to taste. I like treats on the not-so-sweet side). Variation: ΒΌ cup honey or maple syrup along with 2 tbsp coconut oil if you don't have monkfruit.
- 2 tsp vanilla
- pinch sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup mini dark choco chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- First off, melt coconut oil and whisk in the granulated sweetener til dissolved.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together nut butter, coconut oil/monkfruit, and vanilla. If using honey or maple syrup, just whisk that in together with nut butter, melted coconut oil (be sure to only use 2 tbsp in this case), and vanilla.
- Mix in rolled oats and flaked coconut. I usually use my hands to incorporate everything.
- Add pinch salt, then stir in chocolate chips (I also use my hands for this).
- Roll into balls. This works best with clean, wet hands. Batter will be sticky.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer so they set. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
