Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or substitute with almond butter for a different flavor)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (choose maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (either semi-sweet or dark based on your preference)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed (for added nutrition and omega-3s)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (adds a lovely texture)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for enhanced flavor)

A pinch of sea salt (to balance the sweetness)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, unsweetened shredded coconut, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir them together rigorously until well blended and evenly distributed.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the natural peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) together with the pure vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spatula to ensure a smooth and creamy mixture with no lumps.

      Combine Mixtures: Carefully pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Add the chocolate chips last. Stir everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture is thoroughly combined, and all oats are coated with the wet mixture.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Chilling the mixture helps it firm up, making it easier to form into bites.

          Form the Bites: After chilling, take the mixture out of the refrigerator. With clean hands, scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a compact ball. Place the formed energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process until the entire mixture has been rolled into little bites.

            Store: Transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or can be frozen for longer-lasting treats.

              Prep Time, Total Time, Servings: 10 minutes | 40 minutes | Makes approximately 20 energy bites

                Presentation Tips: For an extra touch, roll the bites in shredded coconut or crushed nuts before storing them, giving them a delightful finish. Serve them in small clear cups for a fun party snack or energy booster on the go!
