Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently crush the cornflakes into smaller pieces using your hands or the back of a spoon.
Add the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chia seeds (if using), and salt to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and peanut butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Do not let it come to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly coated.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, take portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, approximately 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Once all the bites are rolled, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Store the Cornflake Energy Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
