Enjoy!!
No-Bake Energy Bites
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.
Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll
into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep
refrigerated for up to 1 week. (makes 18-20 bites)
***I have made these several times now and I always add another 1/2 cup oatmeal or so and I never chill the dough in the refrigerator-I just roll them out right away. I find it dries out a little if you let it chill in the refrigerator and is much harder to roll into balls-but that could be from always adding extra oatmeal.
*****I have changed how I make these by doubling the oatmeal and adding 1/4-1/2 cup coconut oil. They are also delicious with crunchy peanut butter.
