Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons spirulina powder
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, almond butter, maple syrup, spirulina powder, chia seeds, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and optional chocolate chips.
- Mix Thoroughly: Use a spatula or spoon to mix all the ingredients until the mixture is well incorporated and sticky enough to hold shape.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls using your hands to ensure uniform size for even chilling.
- Prepare for Chilling: Place the formed balls evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate to Set: Refrigerate the power bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold together well.
- Store Properly: Once firm, transfer the power bites to an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for freshness and easy snacking.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup for sweetness preference.
- Keep the bites refrigerated to maintain firmness, especially in warm climates.
- Optional chocolate chips can be replaced with cacao nibs or omitted for a pure superfood taste.
