Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet or plate
- Plastic wrap or airtight container
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats raw
- 2/3 cup toasted, sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup ground golden flaxseed meal
- 6 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- In your mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir these together until smooth and well combined.
- Add the old-fashioned oats, toasted shredded coconut, ground flaxseed meal, and chocolate chips to the wet ingredients. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated and sticky but manageable.
- Place your bowl in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up the mixture slightly.
- Once chilled, scoop out small portions (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Pop the tray back into the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes to let the energy bites fully firm up. Then transfer them into an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Store energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Freeze bites for up to three months; thaw before eating for 10-15 minutes.
- Customize by swapping chocolate chips for dried fruit or adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
