Chocolate Peanut Butter Vegan Protein Bites

Vegan protein energy bites combine oats, peanut butter, cocoa, flaxseed, and maple syrup in a convenient no-bake snack. The mixture comes together in one bowl, rolls easily into individual portions, and firms up in the refrigerator.

Why This Recipe Works

Peanut butter binds the oats and contributes richness, while flaxseed adds texture. Cocoa and vanilla deepen the flavor, and maple syrup supplies enough sweetness and moisture to shape the mixture.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
