Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats (quick cooking or old fashioned)
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 1/2 cup M&M’s
- 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, flax meal, vanilla extract, M&M’s, and chopped peanuts. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and form a sticky mixture.
- Form Bites: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll it between your hands to form bite-sized balls. Place each ball onto a lined baking sheet or tray, spacing them evenly.
- Chill to Firm Up: Refrigerate the rolled bites for at least 20 minutes to allow them to set and become firm enough to hold their shape.
- Store Properly: Once firm, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. Store them in the fridge to keep fresh and enjoy as a convenient snack anytime.
Notes
- You can substitute M&M’s with chocolate chips or dried fruit based on your preference.
- Use natural peanut butter for a healthier, less processed option.
- To make these vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Store energy bites in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Rolling the mixture with slightly damp hands can prevent sticking.
