Healthy Swaps
Chia Egg instead of an egg – to bind the mass and obtain a compact result.
Oat flour instead of flour – oats as a healthy source of energy.
Banana and sugar alternatives instead of refined sugar – Among other things, a ripe banana is used here to give natural sweetness. But beware: of course, the chocolate drops and the chocolate icing contain industrial sugar – so use only a little of it if it’s meant to be a healthy snack. It’s all about the right balance 🙂
Storage
Be sure to store in the refrigerator. You can enjoy them for a few days without any problems.
Hope you make these Coffee & Chocolate Bites soon – enjoy! ☕️
