Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and holds together well.
- Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes. This step firms up the mixture, making it easier to handle and roll into balls.
- Form Bites: Once chilled, scoop out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Ensure each bite is compact and evenly shaped.
- Store: Place the energy bites in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to two months to keep them fresh.
Notes
- You can customize these bites by adding shredded coconut, chia seeds, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to the mixture.
- For nut allergies or variation, swap peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
