Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons chia seed
- 2 tablespoon chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chip, ~70% cacao
- 1/4 cup raisins (any favorite dried fruit could be used for natural sweetness)
Instructions
- In a small microwavable bowl, whisk water and chia seeds together using a fork (be careful with wire whisks because the chia seeds can really get caught up in them).
- Add peanut butter and chocolate chips to bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir contents until well blended.
- Add raisins and stir to mix.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture into 6 evenly portioned bites (each bite is one heaping tablespoon).
- Gently press to hold shape. Can also be rolled into small balls. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. (Bites also freeze well.)
Notes
- TO ADD A PROTEIN SERVING: Increase water to 1/4 cup and add 6 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter; then, continue with recipe as listed.
