Servings: 32

Here’s what you need...

• 2 cups of old fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup of ground flax seed
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (about 2/3 cup)
• 20 drops liquid stevia OR ½ cup coconut palm sugar
• 1 cup of natural peanut butter (no sugar added – just peanuts and salt)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ½ cup water (or coffee for a caffeine boost!)
• ½ cup of stevia-sweetened chocolate chips
• sprinkle of sea salt

1. Place the rolled oats, ground flax seed, cinnamon, vanilla protein powder, stevia, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and water (or coffee) in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are blended.
2. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Note: the mixture will appear crumbly, but once you press it together it will stick.
3. Form the energy bite mixture into 1" balls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cover and place in refrigerator for 2 hours. Enjoy!
