Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter such as JIF or Skippy
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups oats old fashioned or quick cooking
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup flax seed meal
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter and honey until smooth. Stir in cinnamon and salt.
- Add oats, chia, coconut and flax seed meal to the bowl and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl so that all ingredients are combined then stir in chocolate chips.
- Use a small/medium cookie scoop to form into bite-sized balls. Can be served immediately or chilled if you prefer them cold.
Notes
Energy bites can be kept in an air-tight container for up to two weeks in the fridge.
If using a 100% natural peanut butter (the stir-required kind), the bites may not hold together as firmly. Add 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil to compensate, or stick with a conventional creamy peanut butter like Skippy or Jif for best results.
