To Make Gluten-Free Brownie Energy Bites You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Old-fashioned gluten-free rolled oats
- Natural unsweetened peanut butter
- Pure maple syrup
- Cocoa powder
- Chia seeds
- Salt
- Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips ~ I used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
Everything goes in the food processor, mix it all up, and it’s ready to roll into balls.
**Please Note: Peanut butters will have different consistencies and you may need to add an extra tablespoon of either pure maple syrup or peanut butter for the type of energy bite you prefer. I personally have found that one tablespoon of peanut butter and half of a tablespoon of syrup works well.
Enjoy Life Allergy-Friendly chocolate chips are my favorite brand for eating out of the bag and baking.
I use cookie scoops like both of these two types shown here:
One is a silicone scoop that the dough is pushed out with your finger and the other is a traditional type scoop with a release on the handle. I use the 2 tablespoon size for my energy bites/balls.
