Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 60 g unflavored protein powder optional

White Chocolate "Frosting"

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Energy Bite "Dough"

  • In a large mixing bowl add rolled oats, flax meal, and macadamia nuts. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • Incorporate the almond butter mixture with the rolled oats mixture.
  • Roll the dough into 1.5 inch balls (a little smaller than a golf ball). Set balls on a plate.

White Chocolate "Frosting"

  • Over a double boiler, (you may also use a heat-safe mixing bowl over a sauce pan with 1 cup water, or melt via the microwave), melt the white chocolate and coconut butter. Stir until combined. Take care to remove from the heat before the white chocolate starts to burn.
  • Dip each energy bite into the white chocolate mixture. You may also drizzle the white chocolate over top the energy bites.
  • Place the energy bites in the refrigerator until the white chocolate is set (about 30 to 60min).
