Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or option for almond butter to keep it nut-free)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (either dark or semi-sweet)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Optional: 1/2 cup shredded coconut or chopped nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and sea salt. If you’re including shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra texture, add them to the bowl and mix well.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) using a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, add the pure vanilla extract and mix again until fully integrated.

      Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. With a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until it is well combined and sticky. The mixture should easily hold together when pressed.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, being careful to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture without letting them melt.

          Form Energy Bites: With clean hands, take spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, you can wet your hands lightly with water to help in shaping the bites.

            Chill: Place the formed energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

              Store: After chilling, transfer the energy bites into an airtight container. They will keep well in the refrigerator for up to one week or can be stored in the freezer for extended freshness.

                Enjoy: Whenever you’re in need of a quick energy boost or a tasty snack, simply grab one (or two) of these nutritious bites!
