Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup peanut butter (I used Nuts n’ More Birthday Cake flavored Peanut Butter–*noted this brand has added whey protein in it therefore it is not vegan. Use pure peanut butter for vegan option)
• 3 TSBP chia seeds
• 2 cups GF-certified rolled oats
• 1/3 cup sugar-free maple syrup (can use real maple syrup)
• dash cinnamon
• dash sea salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 TBSP raw cacao nibs
• 2 tsp raw cacao powder
• dash almond milk (*only add if mixture is too dry)

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend well until dough is formed.
2. Roll dough into small bite-sized balls and set aside until all dough is used.
3. If batter is too dry, add a small amount of almond milk to soften.
4. Let set in fridge and enjoy!

These snacks are filled with fiber and whole grains from the gluten-free certified oats, omega-3s, healthy fatty acids for brain health and heart health from the chia seeds, and savory peanut butter (made with added whey protein) for hunger-busting protein power. Carbs, protein, and healthy fats=the perfect trio in a snack to keep you full and satisfied!

These bites are perfect to satisfy that your snack needs!
