If you haven’t already noticed, I like to eat. Sometimes I need something to eat, and I need it immediately, if not sooner. Last week I shared my homemade KIND bar recipe but now I’m going to share something even easier and quicker to make: no-bake energy bites. Anything that combines chocolate and peanut butter is a winning combination.
- 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
- 2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
- Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Every time I make these, I can’t help but think of the SNL Christmas Schweddy balls skit. I know, I know– it’s horrible, but I can’t help but laugh.
