You can never have too many recipes for Protein Bites! What you have in your pantry at any given moment will \u00a0determine which Protein Bite recipe you will \u00a0make, right?
\nThe other night, my husband asked if I had any chocolate in the house and rather than handing him a little bowl of chocolate chips, I whipped up a batch of these. Infinitely better for you than that little bowl of choc chips!<\/p>\n

Protein Energy Bites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1 cup Rolled Oats
\n1\/2 cup Peanut Butter
\n2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
\n1\/2 cup Chocolate Chips – mini ones are best but use what you have
\n1\/4 cup Honey
\n1\/4 cup Chia Seeds
\n1\/4 cup Dates, chopped
\n1\/4 cup dried Cranberries
\n1\/4 cup Pecans, chopped
\n2 Tablespoons Protein Powder
\nPinch of Cinnamon<\/p>\n

Sesame Seeds or Fine Desiccated Coconut<\/p>\n

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except sesame seeds until everything is evenly distributed.
\nRoll into about 24 balls – I use a #2 Pampered Chef scoop for uniform size
\nRoll some or all in sesame seeds or coconut.
\nRefrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
\nStore in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.<\/p>\n

Variation:<\/p>\n

Protein Energy Bites rolled into a log for slicing instead of rolling into balls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Roll the mixture into a log.
\nWrap in parchment paper and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. ( I slide my wrapped dough into an empty paper towel roll that I slit open for ease of transferring to refrigerator and it helps the dough retain its cylindrical shape)
\nSlice into 1\/4inch slices
\nStore in airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.<\/p>\n
