Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • spoon
  • refrigerator
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, and salt.
  2. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
  3. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and sticky. If it seems too dry, add a little more peanut butter or honey; if too wet, add a few more oats.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to help the mixture firm up.
  5. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into balls with your hands.
  6. Place the energy bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving, or store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Notes

For easier rolling, chill the mixture well before shaping. You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter or use mini shredded coconut instead of chocolate chips if desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
