Chocolate Energy Bombs

They taste like a bite of dessert, but these are packed with nutrients to keep you fueled and energetic.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup oat flour, or ground oats

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder

• 1/4 cup raw honey or maple syrup

• 1/4 cup nut butter of choice (almond or cashew)

• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or cinnamon

• 2 squares dark chocolate, very finely chopped (or 2 tbsps chocolate chips)

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted

• Optional: flaky Himalayan sea salt

Instructions:

1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and make space in the fridge for it.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, honey, nut butter, cayenne pepper or cinnamon and finely chopped chocolate.

3. Stir thoroughly until your mixture is blended and sticky.

4. Form into one tablespoon balls. I used a cookie scoop for this to create nice, even servings.

5. Melt your chocolate using a double boiler over the stove.

6. Dip each ball into your melted chocolate; allow the excess to lightly drip off onto the already dipped balls in a zig-zag pattern as shown in the photos (optional), then place on a parchment paper sheet pan.

7. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

8. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

9. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
