Peanut Butter Energy (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 cup date syrup, coconut syrup, or honey.
02 -
1/2 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter.
03 -
1 tablespoon vegan mini chocolate chips (optional).
04 -
1/3 cup any protein powder you like.
05 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds.
06 -
1/3 cup ground flaxseeds.
07 -
1/4 cup shredded coconut without sweetener (optional).
08 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
09 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder.
10 -
1/2 cup gluten-free oats (if needed).
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, flaxseed meal, protein powder, oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon into a food processor. Blitz until it all comes together. Mix in the chocolate chips and coconut (if you like) with a few extra pulses. Roll the dough into 10 small balls using your hands or a cookie scoop, and keep them in a container with a lid.
02 -
Start by mixing the wet ingredients in a bowl. Stir in the dry ingredients. You might need to get your hands in there to fully combine it all. Once done, shape the mixture into balls that stick together.
03 -
Keep these in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for two months.
# Notes:
01 -
Skip protein powder and use extra oats if the mix feels too wet.
02 -
Make this nut-free by going for sunflower seed butter instead.
03 -
This mix can also be shaped into bars if that works better for you.
