Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 3 tablespoons freshly ground coffee beans
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract divided
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt divided
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter for a peanut-free version
  • 1/2 cup honey (add 1/4 cup more for sweeter version)
  • 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats (use gluten-free oats for GF version)
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate chopped, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw almonds on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly before chopping.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted almonds, freshly ground coffee beans, cocoa powder, oats, and ground flax seeds. Mix thoroughly.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, sea salt, creamy peanut butter, and honey. Stir until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is coated and the mixture is sticky enough to form into balls.
  • Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  • Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the bites.
  • Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Once the bites have set, dip each into melted dark chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place back on the baking sheet.
  • Return to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  • Once hardened, enjoy your Dark Chocolate Covered Coffee Roasted Almond and Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bites!
