Gimme Some Oven Blog: Nutella Energy Bites

Now this is my kind of baking! (i.e. Not really baking!) Still trying to get my full energy levels back after dealing with the plague, so I was on the hunt for a quick and easy recipe to make this weekend.

Behold, Nutella Energy Bites! And hello, who doesn’t love Nutella?

I did make a few revisions to the ingredients, just so I could use up some things I had on hand. I subbed the hazelnuts with peanuts, the ground flax seeds for ground almonds, and the chia seeds for flax seeds.

A cinch to make, perfect for a a breakfast pick me up or a daytime snack!

Nutella Energy Bites

These delicious no bake energy bites get an extra chocolate and hazelnut kick with some Nutella!

Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 2/3 cup Nutella
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts
• 2 Tbsp. ground flax seeds
• 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:

Combine all ingredients together in a food processor and pulse until combined. Cover mixture and transfer to the refrigerator, and let cool for about 30-60 minutes. (This will slightly harden the mixture and make it easier to form into balls.)

When mixture is cool, remove and roll into balls of your desired size. (Mine were about 1-inch in diameter.) Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a covered container.
