No-Bake Energy Bites

By aamundson

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup coconut flakes (optional - can replace with some kind of nut if you want)
• 1/2 cup nut butter
• 1/2 cup ground flax seed
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, but I didn’t use them this time around)
• 1/4 cup raw honey
• 1 tsp vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix together all the ingredients. It takes a little time and some elbow grease, but you want to make sure everything is mixed together really well. This helps with forming the balls later.

2. Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least an hour. I’ve found that the longer you chill it, the better the balls bind together.

3. Roll, roll, roll the mixture into balls about 1-inch in diameter and enjoy!

This recipe makes between 20 and 30 balls, depending on how big you roll them.
