Description
Delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make energy bites that satisfy your sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Ground Flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering a large mixing bowl and add the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and your choice of honey or maple syrup. Mix these core ingredients together thoroughly until they form a cohesive dough. It’s essential to blend well to achieve a sticky consistency, which will help your energy bites hold their shape when formed.
- Once the mixture is fully combined, it’s time to fold in the mini chocolate chips gently. Use a spatula to ensure the chips are evenly distributed without breaking them apart—this will keep those delightfully tiny bursts of chocolate intact in your bites, enhancing the flavor!
- Now, it’s the time to roll the energy mixture into bite-sized balls. You can use your hands or a cookie scoop to help with even sizing. Place each ball on a lined baking sheet or plate, spacing them out to allow for easy access later. This recipe should yield around 18 bites, offering a delightful snack for days!
- To help the energy bites firm up, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows them to become more cohesive and easier to eat. After chilling, your energy bites will be set and ready to enjoy!
Notes
