Description
4 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Energy Bites (V, GF): a quick ‘n easy One Bowl recipe for tasty protein-packed energy bites bursting with peanut butter and coconut! Vegan, Protein Rich, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Whole Grain.
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 1/4 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut, shreds or flakes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside for later.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl (large enough to add oats and coconut later), add peanut butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Heat in 20-second increments in the microwave until very warm and fragrant, and the mixture begins to dry out/look fluffy (about 4-7 rounds). Whisk in between heating increments.* Stovetop instructions in Notes. After whisking well, the texture will resemble caramel frosting.
- Add oats and coconut to the peanut butter mixture. Stir and fold until thoroughly combined and thickened.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop and drop balls of this mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. I use this cookie scoop. Roll into balls. If needed, chill bites in the freezer until firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
