Ingredients

1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

1/4 cup chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Combine Liquid Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds (if using), mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly distributed.

Combine Mixtures: Pour the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything until fully combined and a sticky dough forms. Make sure the chocolate chips are evenly dispersed.

Form the Energy Bites: With clean hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is formed into bites.

Chill: Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Store: After chilling, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months.
