    Ingredient: Oats

    No-Bake Energy Bites

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 cup old fashioned oats (dry)
    1/2 cup peanut butter
    1/3 cup honey
    2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes
    1/2 cup ground flaxseed
    1/2 cup chocolate chips
    1 tbsp. chia seeds
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    DIRECTIONS:
    Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll into 1-inch balls. Store in refrigerator. Okay to freeze for long-term storage.

    Makes about 20-25 balls.

    Note: This recipe is very flexible. Don’t like peanut butter? Substitute almond or cashew butter. Don’t have honey? Use agave nectar. Don’t have chia seeds? Omit them. Don’t want to use chocolate? Use small pieces of dried fruit.  Don’t have time to toast your coconut flakes? Use plain. This is a stress-free recipe ­­…enjoy!
