Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.333 cup honey
- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and chia seeds.
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture until well combined and the consistency is smooth.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and dried cranberries ensuring an even distribution.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up slightly.
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and, using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the balls are shaped, store them in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate them for up to two weeks for longer freshness.
