2/3cupdrippy, room temperature nut or seed butterI use peanut butter most of the time, but you can use sunbutter if you are nut free or are in a nut free school. Or, any other nut butter if you tolerate nuts.
I make about 22 bites out of this recipe - I like to make them on the smaller side so my high schooler can just pop them in her mouth and go without extra bites. At this size, each small bite is about 5.3 grams of protein. You could potentially make them bigger for more protein per bite, or just pack a few bites at a time so there is more substantial protein count.
We are keeping these protein bites in the pantry - my oldest is packing a container of them to keep in her locker to grab and go when she needs. These bites should be good in the pantry for up to 2 months as there is nothing perishable in the ingredient list.
I have added extra cocoa powder to the mixture to make them a deeper chocolate flavor!
You can also add in mini chocolate chips if you like!
Originally when I was making these, I was doing about 1/4 cup hemp and 1/4 cup oats - this does work if you want to make them that way! I was going for more protein so ended up at the 1/2 cup total hemp and no oats, but that is personal preference.
