Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, 2 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/8 tsp salt. Stir using a sturdy spoon or your hands until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky.
  2. Step 2: Using clean hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls, forming about 12 energy bites. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
