Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, and 2 tbsp chia seeds. Stir to evenly distribute the seeds and oats.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until a sticky dough forms, ensuring all oats are coated.
  3. Step 3: Fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness and texture.
  4. Step 4: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls, about 1 inch each. Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
