Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked millet (you can use any variety of millet)
- 1/2 cup nut butter (any nut butter of your choice)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: dark chocolate chips, dried fruits, or other add-ins of your choice
Instructions
- Cook Millet: Rinse the millet under cold water. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of millet with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the millet is cooked.
- Prepare Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked millet, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, chia seeds or flaxseeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form Bites: If the mixture is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for 15-30 minutes to make it easier to handle. Once the mixture is firm enough, take small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Optional: Add-ins: If desired, you can press a few dark chocolate chips, dried fruits, or extra shredded coconut on the surface of each energy bite.
- Chill: Place the energy bites on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Store: Once the millet energy bites are firm, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
