When you’re in the mood for a chocolate treat, you might reach for a chocolate cookie, or some homemade fudge, or you might want to try these easy chocolate energy bites.

These are so easy to make, and perfect for a quick snack or even a breakfast on the go. If you’re new to energy bites or balls, they’re made with simple, wholesome ingredients like oats, coconut, chocolate, and seeds.

It takes just a few minutes to make these no-bake sweet treats.

Texture

This recipe is a cross between a chocolate truffle and an energy bite. It’s chocolatey and delicious, but also full of fiber from the prunes, coconut, and oats.

The dried plums provide natural sweetness and help these truffles stick together. These remind me of Lara Bars, but in the shape of a ball. This is a chewy, filling treat.

Ingredients

• certified gluten free oats
• unsweetened coconut flakes
• prunes
• cocoa powder
• maple syrup
• sunbutter
• dairy free chocolate chips

Substitutions

• You can use dates or dried cherries instead of prunes if you like.
• You can leave out the coconut if you need to. Use sunflower seeds or more oats instead.
• Any liquid sweetener should work well. You can use honey or agave syrup if you like.
• If you wanted to make these grain free, just use more coconut flakes and leave out the oats.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Put the certified gluten free oats and coconut flakes in the food processor, and pulse until they are finely ground.

2. Add the prunes, cocoa powder, maple syrup, sunbutter, and chocolate chips.

3. Pulse until the ingredients come together. It will be a thick dough. If it seems too dry, add a little more sunbutter or maple syrup.

4. Roll the dough into balls. Coat with cocoa powder or coconut flakes if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
