Healthy 5 ingredient chocolate brownie no bake energy bites.
These perfect little on-the-go snacks are packed with protein, peanuts and dates. (gluten-free, vegan & refined sugar-free, not to mention no bake!)
If you are looking for a simple snack that’s no bake and healthy, look no further because these gluten-free brownie energy bites are made using just 5 ingredients: dates, protein powder, cocao powder, peanuts and maple syrup! Throw them into a food processor, blend and roll!
Can you believe these no bake energy bites are not only healthy but gluten-free and vegan as well? I know I can’t either! They taste like a magical brownie dessert rolled up into one perfect on-the-go snack!
These no bake energy bites are easily adaptable. Don’t have peanuts? You can easily substitute them for almonds, cashews or hazelnuts! Maple syrup not your jam? Try using honey, agave or brown rice syrup.
The possibilities are endless–and so are the toppings. You can roll them in cocao powder, crushed nuts, almond meal, hemp seeds, coconut, freeze dried berry powder or whatever your heart desires! As you can see from the photos, I rolled mine in almond flour, crushed hazelnuts and unsweetened cocao powder. I like options when it comes to my snacking.
I used PEScience Select protein in this recipe and guess what? PEScience has plant based proteins and you can get them for 30% off using my affiliate code PBCHOCO at checkout on their website!
