Looking for a quick snack recipe that’s packed with nutrients and filled with accessible ingredients? These little energy bites will take snacking to the next level and leave you full for longer! Total #winwin.  

 

Ingredients: 

For the bites:    

 

 

• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats 
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/3 cup Coconut Syrup  
• 1 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon 
• 1 tbsp seed mix (e.g. chia, hemp or flaxseeds) 
• Pinch of salt   
• Extra: you can add chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, Coconut Flakes , granola, or any other nibbles into the mix to boost flavours even more; this part is entirely up to you 👨🏼 ‍ 🍳

 

 

For the chocolate coating: 

• Half a cup Coconut Oil (melted) 
• 3 tbsp cacao powder
• 4 tbsp Coconut Syrup 

   

Instructions:

• Add all ingredients for the bites (minus the ones for the chocolate coating) into a large mixing bowl bowl. Mix together until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, quickly make the chocolate coating by adding all coating ingredients together into a medium bowl, then stir it until nice and smooth (works better with a whisk but a spoon will do). Set aside. 
• Remove the mixture from the fridge and make medium balls (about the size of a heaped tablespoon) pressing them with your palms. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
• Cover the bites with the chocolate coating and place back in the fridge for another hour. 
• If not eating straight away, keep bites in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Enjoy!
