Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter (unsalted)
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed meal
- 0.25 cup Mini dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed meal, mini dark chocolate chips, and chia seeds. Mix well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the natural peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a sturdy spatula or your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a sticky dough.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This chilling process allows the mixture to firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
Once the mixture is sufficiently chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it between your hands to form smooth, evenly-sized balls.
Repeat this process until all the mixture has been used, transferring the energy bites to a parchment-lined baking sheet or container as you go.
Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
