Cinnamon Roll Energy Bites (Vegan, 5 ingredients)
Cinnamon roll energy bites made with 5 ingredients and make a great make-ahead freezer snack for the week! Packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein, they make a hunger-crushing combo! They're also so soft, perfectly spicey and sweet, you won't be able to stop ;)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter *See notes
- 1/3-1/2 cup organic old fashioned oats
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup protein powder *Optional, see notes
- 1 tsp vanilla + pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, for drizzling *optional. I used a refined sugar-free option.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients, mixing until dough forms. You can taste and adjust as you'd like. If your dough is super moist, add extra oats.
- Roll the dough into balls and place in the freezer for at least two hours to firm up.
- If you are using the white chocolate, once the balls have been in the freezer for 35-45 minutes and firmer, melt the chocolate until smooth. Dip each ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Return to the freezer for at least an hour or two before enjoying!
Notes
*You can sub any nut or seed butter.
**If you don't want to use protein powder, you can use extra oats!
