With so many energy bite flavour variations possible, it would be easy to make a different kind each time I make a batch. But my favourite always ends up being this recipe that I'm sharing with you today.

These No-bake Maple Espresso Bites are flavoured with coffee, cinnamon, maple and vanilla and taste like a delicious latte.

Healthy Energy Balls

These energy balls are made with wholesome ingredients and lightly sweetened with maple syrup so they are refined sugar free.

They contain almond butter, almond flour, rolled oats and a bit of flax meal. To reproduce the taste of a latte, I used espresso powder, cinnamon and vanilla to flavour these bites.

This recipe makes approximately 22 energy bites at 79 calories each.

How to Make No-Bake Energy Bites

Making your own energy bites is a lot less expensive than buying them and it couldn't be easier. Energy bite recipes are very flexible and ingredients can be easily substituted for others that may be more suitable to you.

For instance, if there are nut allergies in your family you can use sunflower seed butter. The almond flour used in this recipe can be replaced with unsweetened coconut or more oats.

For the coffee flavour, I used espresso powder, but if you don't have any you could grind some instant coffee granules in a spice grinder, or dissolve about two teaspoons in a tablespoon of water. If gluten is a concern, using gluten-free certified oats will ensure gluten-free energy bites.

To roll the balls, scoop approximately two teaspoons (or if available use a size 50 cookie scoop) and roll the mixture in the palms of your hands until you have a smooth ball.

If the mixture feels too soft, add more ground almonds or oats, or a little of both. Try one tablespoon at a time until you get a consistency that rolls easily.

Once done, I rolled mine in a combination of almond flour and ground cinnamon, this step keeps the energy bites from sticking to your fingers and gives them a nice coating but isn't necessary.

How to Store:

Store these No-bake Maple Espresso Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze them for up to three months.

Enjoy!
