Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the old-fashioned rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute these ingredients.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
  3. Season: Add a pinch of salt to enhance and balance the flavors.
  4. Mix Thoroughly: Using a spatula or your hands, combine all ingredients until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
  5. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the mixture for easier shaping.
  6. Shape the Bites: After chilling, scoop the mixture with a tablespoon and roll it into 1-inch balls using your hands.
  7. Store Properly: Place the formed energy bites into an airtight container, layering them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  8. Refrigerate or Freeze: Keep the energy bites refrigerated for up to one week or freeze for up to three months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
  • For a nut-free version, sunflower seed butter can be used.
  • Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3.
  • If you prefer sweeter bites, increase the honey slightly.
