Why You’ll Love These Bites

  • Easily modified for Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and Vegan: If you’re avoiding gluten or dairy, these protein bites have got you covered. They’re perfect for all dietary preferences!
  • Gluten-Free: Use certified Gluten-Free oats like Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats.
  • Dairy Free: Use a dairy free protein powder.
  • Vegan: Use a vegan protein powder and switch the honey for maple syrup.
  • Peanut Butter + Chocolate Magic: Peanut butter and chocolate are like the dynamic duo of flavor. Their combination is practically a chef’s kiss!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  1. Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats: We recommend using Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats.
  2. Peanut Butter: Look for a creamy, drippy peanut butter with minimal ingredients (just peanuts and salt). Brands like Wild Friends or 365 organic creamy peanut butter work well.
  3. Honey: The glue that holds these bites together.
  4. Chocolate Protein Powder: Opt for your favorite brand of chocolate protein powder. 
  5. Chocolate Chips: We recommend Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips (allergen-friendly) or Lily’s chocolate chips (low in sugar and calories).

Substitutions & Notes

  • Honey: Maple syrup works as a substitute for honey. Both versions turn out great!
  • Peanut Butter: Use any nut butter you like.

Pro Tip: These bites are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth during road trips or as a quick snack at school or work. So go ahead, indulge in a little chocolatey goodness!
