Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup toasted shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Stir all the dry and wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined, ensuring an even mixture.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the mixture to firm up, which will help it stick together when forming balls.
  3. Form Balls: After chilling, roll the mixture into 1-inch sized balls with your hands for easy serving.
  4. Serve or Store: Enjoy your energy bites immediately, or store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using sweetened/unsweetened shredded coconut.
  • Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more peanut butter or honey to help it bind.
  • Store energy bites in the freezer for easy snack options that last for months.
