Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, flaxseed, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the mixture easier to handle.
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
- Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips
- If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of honey or peanut butter. If too sticky, add a bit more oats.
- Roll the bites in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup and dairy-free chocolate chips.
