Description

These no-bake peanut butter and cacao bite snacks.  They’re quick, easy and super healthy.  I use oats, cacao powder, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, salt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract and cacao chips. Basically just stir together, refrigerate, and you’re all set.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old fashioned (dry) rolled oats
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon organic flaxseed meal
  • 1 tablespoon organic chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon organic shelled hemp seeds
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons 100% cacao ‘chocolate’ chips
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter ( no sugar added)
  • 23 tablespoons honey (organic raw) – depending on how sweet you like it

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, stir together dry oats, almond flour, cacao powder, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, hemp seeds, salt, cacao chips and coconut flakes.  
  2. Add in peanut butter and honey.  With a spoon, stir ingredients together and evenly distributed.  I find it helpful to use two spoons as the peanut butter and honey have a tendency to stick.
  3. Form about 17 small bite-sized balls and place on a plate (small enough to fit in the refrigerator, and big enough for the energy balls to lay flat without bumping into each other).  TIP: I like to rinse my hands with water before forming the balls, as this helps them stick more easily.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  Enjoy!
