Why You’ll Love These No Bake Vegan Nougat Protein Bites

• No fuss. There’s no baking or complicated steps involved in these vegan nougat balls. All you have to do is blend up some ingredients and dip the bites in chocolate. I mean, it doesn’t get much easier than that!

• Wholesome ingredients. If you’re looking for a decadent dessert that is plant-based you’ll love this vegan nougat recipe. With ingredients like oat flour, protein powder, banana, dates, and nut butter, this is a dessert or snack everyone will love – vegan or not.
• Great for kids or picky eaters. Kids will love eating these and they may want to help make them too. It’s like working with edible play-dough!

How to Store

These vegan nougat balls store very well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months (if they last that long in your house, because in mine they go fast). 

When pulling them out of the freezer, I recommend letting them sit for 10-20 minutes before biting into them if you don’t want them to be too hard.

Instructions

1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Blend all ingredients except coconut oil and chocolate chips in a small food processor (or alternatively blend the banana and dates with the milk first and then mix it all together by hand if you don’t have a mini food processor)!
3. Roll into 12 balls then freeze the balls while you melt the chocolate and coconut oil.
4. Roll each ball in chocolate and place on a parchment paper lined tray. Add cacao nibs, nuts or sea salt if desired.
5. Freeze again for about 20 mins. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week!

Notes

• Don’t Have Oat Flour? I just make my own oat flour! Simply blend 1 cup of rolled oats or quick oats until finely ground into a powdery flour consistency. If you need them gluten-free make sure you use certified gluten-free oats.
• Don’t Have a Blender or Food Processor? You can still make these awesome vegan nougat bites! Simply mash the banana with the back of a fork until it becomes glossy and well mashed. Then use 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup instead of the dates and mix everything together by hand.
• Nut-Free Option: Simply sub the almond butter or peanut butter for sunflower seed butter (or other seed butter).
