No Bake Gingerbread Latte Bites

Soooo I don't know about anyone else, but anything gingerbread makes me weak in the knees. I feel like I tend to only have gingerbread stuff around the holidays, but that definitely shouldn't be the case! GINGERBREAD ALLLLL DAY! I saw these bites in my online travels and immediately decided I was going to make them. I had to modify it slightly (can anyone find espresso powder anyway???), but they came out AMAZING. I rationed them out for the whole week to take to work as mid-afternoon, pre-workout snacks (and trust me, it was all I could do to not scarf down the whole batch once they were done). Knowing these were my afternoon snack made it suuuper hard to focus once my after lunch hunger kicked in, however! I tend to pop them about 2 hours pre-workout, and with a little boost of protein/caffeine, I sure can feel a little pick me up. Not to mention that they are the most amazing little bites of deliciousness you will ever find.

They are so delicious that even writing about them is making me drool.

Sorry, I'm not sorry.

paleo // vegan // gluten free

1 3/4 cups gluten-free oat flour (I used almond flour)
1/4 cup coconut flour

2 tsp protein powder (in place of espresso powder, I used Nuzest creamy cappuccino)
1 1/2 tbsp gingerbread spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, dash of cloves)
1/4 cup cashew butter
1/8 cup honey
1/8 cup real maple syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk.

Directions: Combine flour, sweetener, protein, and spices. In bowl, combine honey, cashew butter, maple syrup, and pour into dry mix. Add in milk and stir to combine. Roll into balls (size of your choice). Roll in extra spices/sweetener if you'd like.
