Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats regular or gluten free
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter almond butter will work if you have a peanut allergy
- ½ cup flaxmeal
- 2 T 100% pure maple syrup
- 2-3 T honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ c chocolate chips
- ½ c shredded coconut (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Combine oats, flax, sea salt, and coconut (if using) and stir. Add in peanut butter, maple, honey, vanilla and stir to fully incorporate.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- For ease in rolling into balls, freeze for about 10-20 minutes before rolling up.
- Roll into bite sized balls. Enjoy!
Notes
- If the mixture doesn't seem thick of sturdy enough, add another ¼ cup of oats or so. Different peanut butters can alter the thickness of the recipe.
- I use creamy, natural peanut butter--the kind you have to stir. I find this kind of peanut butter to be the best for recipes like this. It is so much easier to stir and incorporate into the mixture.
- Seriously, change up the chocolate chips each time you make these peanut butter energy bites. I am obsessed with using white chocolate chips lately. Sometimes, I don't use any chips either ( I know, I know) just to have something different. You can also add a drizzle of chocolate instead on top.
