Gluten Free Thin Mint Energy Bites
Ok y’all, we have Gluten Free Samoa bites and Gluten Free Tagalong bites already on the blog, so it only makes sense to have Thin Mint Energy Bites too! These bites were a direct request from several friends, and I have to say, they are pretty darn delicious! What’s even better is that they are gluten free, vegan, and healthy, and I’ve even included a keto option!
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup + ½ tsp coconut oil divided
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add 1 cup almond flour, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract to a medium mixing bowl and stir with a spoon until the ingredients are combined
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, pinch off about 1 tablespoon of “dough” and roll into a ball
- Place balls on plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- In a small microwave safe bowl, add ½ cup mini chocolate chips and ½ teaspoon coconut oil, microwave on high for 1 minute, stir
- If the chocolate hasn’t melted all the way, place the dish back in the microwave for another 30 seconds, and stir again
- Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the Thin Mint balls and then place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes for chocolate to set up
- After they are set, transfer Thin Mint Energy Bites to an airtight container and store in fridge for up to 1 week
