Energy Bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats plus a little more if too wet.
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter plus a little more if too dry
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- Optional add-ins I recommend using two or three of them
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini M&Ms
- ¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries
- ¼ cup chopped nuts
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp chia seed
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and mix thoroughly.
- If too wet, add a little more oatmeal. If too dry, add a little more nut butter.
- Store in the fridge for 1-2 hours to firm up.
- Roll into 1” balls – a cookie dough scoop can work good for this. Also, rubbing a small bit of oil on to your hands will make rolling easier. This should yield ~24 balls.
- Store on the counter for 2-3 days, in the fridge for 2-3 weeks, or in the freezer for months.
