Vegan, Gluten Free Peanut Butter Energy Bites!

These little dudes are super easy to make and contain only 5 ingredients! They're based on an adaptation of another energy bite recipe I made during the summer but cannot recall. Hrm. Anyway, the whole recipe said and done takes about 20-25 minutes, which is perfect because I have a little infant crawling around and she allows approximately 5-10 minute spans of time where she doesn't necessarily need my undivided attention. It's tiring to tell you the truth ha...ha

Recipe Deets

1 cup gluten free rolled oats
1/4 almond flour
1/4 cup vegan choco chips (I use Enjoy Life)
1/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
2/3-1 cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice (I used reconstituted peanut butter due to less fat/cals)

Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a big ol bowl toss all ingredients except peanut butter
- Now add the peanut butter and mix thoroughly
- Roll ingredients with your own two hands into the size of golf bowls
- Place on parchment paper covered baking sheet
- bake 5 minutes
- Seal in an air tight container

I suggest heating them up in a toaster oven whenever you feel the need to munch. Though! Cold is fine and dandy too!

Now go fill your mouth with some protein packed energy.
