Luke's Protein Bites

Picture
We love baking cookies and it's really nice when it doesn’t require turning the oven on (especially in the summer)! These no bake cookies are filled with protein, fiber, omega 3 fatty acids and much more. They make a great snack and always satisfy a sweet tooth!  We always have them in the refrigerator ready to pack in lunches too!  You can substitute the peanut butter for almond butter or even a nut free butter.  Try different variations with your favorite ingredients.

​Yield: approx. 20-25 balls
Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup cacao chips
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/3-1/2 cup maple syrup (or fresh dates for sweetener)
Directions: 
  1. In a food processor, pulse the oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, cacao chips, cranberries, sunflower seeds, coconut, and flax seeds until fully combined. If you don’t have a food processor, you can just mix all ingredients together in a large bowl by hand.
  2. Refrigerate dough about 30 minutes until easy to handle.
  3. Form balls from the mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Refrigerate and enjoy!
