Ingredients

½ cup almond, mixed nut or pecan butter
¼ cup coconut flour
2-3 T molasses*
½ scoop protein powder of choice
¼ cups chopped pecans

Instructions

In a microwave safe bowl, heat the nut butter in the microwave for 15-30 seconds until warm and softened.
Add the molasses, coconut flour and protein powder into the nut butter.
Add more coconut flour if the mixture seems too soft, and more nut butter if too thick.
Add the chopped pecans last, and press the mixture into a silicone mold. I used a silicone mini muffin mold.
Let the protein bites set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before eating

Notes

*you may need more or less molasses depending on if your protein powder is flavored/sweetened
