Chiefs or 49ers? We are one week away from Super Bowl Sunday and I know you’re brainstorming what to take to the party or to prepare for a fun spread at home!
Look no further than these bite-sized mouthful of deliciousness Protein Energy Bites from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. My three kids devour these and I make them on the regular to pack in lunches, pair with yogurt or as an after-school snack. The beauty is that you can get creative and add ingredients to your liking.
The Best Energy Bites (Master Recipe)
https://melskitchencafe.com/best-energy-bites-recipe/
Yield: 24 small bites | Prep time: 20 min | Total time: 20 min
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup ground flaxseed meal
2/3 to 1 cup nut butter
1/4 cup honey
Dash of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Add-ins: mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit, chia seeds, etc.
- In a food processor, add the oats and process until coarsely chopped (you can also use a blender).
- Add the flaxseed, nut butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Process/mix until the mixture comes together into a soft but not overly sticky ball.
- If the mixture is overly dry, add nut butter a tablespoon at a time and process/mix until the consistency is soft but not overly sticky or crumbly.
- Remove the blade and add any add-in ingredients then mix with your hands until evenly combined.
- Roll the dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate until firm enough to stack in a lidded container or in a bag.
Enjoy these little yummies without guilt and whether you have a team in the game or not, these will be a winner in the appetizer/snack category!
Go Chiefs and Let’s Age Powerfully Together!
