Amazing Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites made in 1 bowl, no food processor required! The ultimate healthy and tasty snack to power you through the day.

When the chocolate craving strikes you gotta be READY. You gotta be equipped with a little something sweet and salty. And you absolutely gotta be able to grab said something right out of the fridge when you're buzzing out the door like we all do.

Homemade chocolate peanut butter energy bites in their one bowl glory are here to save your sanity on even the busiest of days!

If you're like me and keep almond and oat flour in the pantry, you may just have all the staples on hand to whip these up like, now.

Everything you need to make

Almond flour: My favorite gluten free flour because it's packed with healthy fats that make everything more moist and delish! There isn't a sub for this flour since it's so unique texturally.
Oat flour: The best compliment to almond flour. You can buy it at the store or easily make your own by grinding old-fashioned oats in the Nutribullet or food processor!
Cacao: I'm obsessed with raw cacao in recipes thanks to its superb dark chocolate flavor and nutrient density. You can use regular unsweetened cocoa powder, too.
Peanut butter: You want natural drippy peanut butter with two ingredients: peanuts and salt. I love the big buy from Costco made with valencia peanuts. If you use unsalted, simply add ½ tsp salt. Almond butter would also work if you don't mind the flavor change!
Chocolate plant protein: For a protein boost and some sweetness! I like rice and pea protein blends like this amazing one. You can also use ground flaxseed.
Maple syrup: For a dash of sweetness. Honey or agave nectar also work.If you're using protein powder that's sweetened, ¼ cup of maple syrup is fine.
Vanilla extract: To heighten the chocolate flavor!

How to make energy bites

The best part about these protein balls is that you don't need a food processor. Can I get an amen for this one bowl situation?! These couldn't be easier.

Mix together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Add the wet ingredients.
Form mixture into balls using your hands or a cookie scoop and shovel into face.

Storage tips

I like to store these energy bites in the refrigerator, where they’ll last up to a couple weeks. You can also store them at room temp for a few days. I like them straight from the freezer, too!
