No-Bake Energy Bites

Energy balls are a staple for a reason — they’re portable, satisfying, and easy to customize. They're also loaded with protein! Concentrated flavorings from Bull City Flavors are sugar-free and gluten-free, making them a smart addition for anyone looking to boost flavor without adding unwanted ingredients. A little goes a long way.

What You’ll Need (makes about 20 balls):

•       1 cup rolled oats

•       1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower)

•       1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

•       1/2 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, dried fruit, flaxseed, etc.)

•       1/2 -1 tsp BCF flavor concentrate (at the BCF test kitchen, we used Banana Puree -WF)

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until fully combined. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes — this makes them easier to roll. Scoop into tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Flavor ideas: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cinnamon Roll, Lemon Coconut, Mocha, or Vanilla Almond. Because BCF concentrates are sugar-free, they’re especially great here when you’re already using sweetener in the base.
