Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup vanilla plant protein powder
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew butter (or almond butter; peanut not recommended)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, ground flaxseed, matcha powder, and fine sea salt in a medium mixing bowl until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Combine: Add the cashew butter, pure maple syrup, and water to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to thoroughly work the mixture until it sticks together easily and is no longer crumbly. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, gradually add a bit more water until reaching the right consistency.
- Form Balls and Store: Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls using your hands. Place the energy bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Use vanilla plant protein powder for added flavor and nutrition; any plant-based protein powder can be used.
- Oat flour can be made by grinding rolled oats in a food processor if not store-bought.
- Adjust water quantity as needed to achieve the perfect dough-like consistency.
- Cashew butter or almond butter works best for creaminess; peanut butter may alter taste and texture.
- Store energy bites in the freezer for longer shelf life and to keep them firm.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour and use sunflower seed butter.
