Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, mini dark chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt, mixing well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the natural peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive mixture.
- Chill the mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes to allow it to firm up, which makes it easier to roll into balls.
- Form into balls: Using your hands, roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch diameter balls, ensuring they are compact and well formed.
- Store: Place the energy bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
Notes
- Substitute almond or cashew butter for peanut butter for a different flavor or to accommodate allergies.
- Add shredded coconut or chopped nuts to the mixture for extra texture and flavor.
- These energy bites can be frozen for up to 3 months for convenient longer-term storage.
