Notes

Instead of oat flour and almond meal, you can start with the same amount of oats and almonds and grind them in a food processor or blender. Don't blend the almond flour too long or it will turn into almond butter!

Gingerbread Energy Bite Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 3/4 cup oat flour
    1/2 cup almond meal
    1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ginger
    1 tablespoon peanut butter (or other nut butter)
    5 tablespoons molasses
    1 tablespoon milk of your choice

Directions

  1. Whisk the oat flour, almond meal, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and ginger together.
  2. Add the peanut butter and molasses, and stir to combine until the mixture forms small clumps.
  3. Try to press the clumps into balls. If it's too crumbly, add a splash of milk, and try again. Add a little more milk if needed. They should come together pretty easily.
  4. Form the mixture into 12 balls. You can make them smaller or larger, depending on your preference.
  5. Optional step: sprinkle them with cinnamon!
  6. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks, and enjoy!
