Two-Bite Chocolate Chip Nuggets

DessertsDairy Freegluten-freeKid FriendlyRaw
These nut-free energy balls are the perfect mid-afternoon power snack!

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas mashed
  • ¼ cup sunflower butter
  • 1 cup oat flakes or quick cooking oats
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips*
  • ¼ cup chocolate protein powder (see brand below) or raw cacao powder**
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes or coconut sugar

Instructions

  • In large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add sunflower butter and oats, stir together. Get in there with your hands, it's much easier to mix it all up!
  • Add cranberries, chocolate chips, protein powder and cinnamon. Stir together until fully combined.
  • Roll in into balls and then roll in coconut flakes or coconut sugar.
  • Give the nuggets a taste test. You can add more of any ingredient to make it taste exactly how you desire! Refrigerate or enjoy immediately.

Notes

*I use Lily's Sweets Chocolate Chips
**If you use raw cacao powder instead of protein powder you will likely need to make the nuggets a bit sweeter because raw cacao is quite bitter. You could add honey or maple syrup.
Makes 15-18 nuggets if you make them 2-bites worth. :)
