Ingredients
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)
– 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup dried fruit
– 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, dried fruit, and chia seeds. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Chill: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to shape the bites.
- Form Bites: Once the mixture is chilled, use a spoon or your hands to form small, bite-sized balls. Press firmly to ensure they hold together.
- Store: Place the energy bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage.
Tips:
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other ingredients like shredded coconut, nuts, or seeds.
If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more nut butter or honey. If it’s too wet, add more oats or flaxseed.
These energy bites are not only convenient, but also nutrient dense, providing a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats and fiber.
