Energy Bites Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc.)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, nut butter, honey, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and salt thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to allow it to firm up and make it easier to handle for shaping.
- Form Balls: After chilling, use your hands to roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. If the mixture feels sticky, moisten your hands slightly to facilitate rolling.
- Set Energy Bites: Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until firm, about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer to an airtight container for storage.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy these no-bake energy bites as a quick snack or energy booster. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week for maximum freshness.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute nut butter types according to your preference or dietary needs.
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a vegan version.
- Adding chia seeds or shredded coconut can enhance texture and nutrition.
- If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup slightly.
- Keep energy bites refrigerated to maintain firmness and freshness.
