Scale
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 the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and salt together until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the combined mixture for about 30 minutes to make it firmer and easier to handle when shaping.
- Form Balls: After chilling, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands. If the mixture sticks too much, lightly dampen your hands to ease the rolling process.
- Set the Bites: Place the rolled energy bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them again until they become firm and hold their shape.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the firm energy bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy them as a nutritious snack anytime you need a quick energy boost.
Notes
- You can substitute nut butter with your preferred type such as peanut or almond butter.
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a vegan option.
- If you want to add extra flavor, consider mixing in cinnamon or shredded coconut.
- For a crunchier texture, try adding chopped nuts or seeds.
- Store energy bites in the freezer for longer preservation, thawing a few minutes before eating.
