Peppermint Mocha Bites!!

Ingredients
1 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour*

1/4 cup coconut flour

1 T cocoa powder

1 tsp espresso powder

1 scoop chocolate or vanilla powder (I tried a vegan brown rice brand, a paleo egg white brand and a casein blend)- Optional

pinch sea salt

Granulated sweetener of choice**

1/2 tsp peppermint extract

1/2 cup nut butter of choice (I used homemade paleo “nutella”)

1/4 cup maple syrup (can sub for honey, agave or brown rice syrup)

1 T + dairy free milk of choice***

Extra cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine your flours, protein powder, espresso powder, cocoa powder, salt and granulated sweetener and set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, melt your nut butter with the maple syrup. Whisk in the peppermint extract and pour into the dry mixture. Mix very well until fully incorporated.

If batter is too thick (it generally is), add a tablespoon of dairy-free milk, until a thick batter is formed. If batter is too thin, add a dash more flour until a thick batter is formed. Using your hands, form into bite sized balls.

Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

* For the paleo option, use 1 cup TOTAL coconut flour or almond flour, however you’ll need to adjust the liquids for the latter.

** protein powder was sweetened so I omitted but adjust accordingly

*** Depending on the blend of flours you use, you may need less or more. Adjust accordingly.

Bites can be stored at room temperature but best refrigerated.
