No-Bake Energy Bites
No-Bake Energy Bites are healthy, bite-sized snacks made with oats, peanut butter, flaxseed, honey, and chocolate chips. They're perfect for meal prep, breakfast, or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, miniature chocolate chips, and ground flaxseed.
- Add the crunchy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
- If the mixture feels too soft, refrigerate it for 15–20 minutes to make rolling easier.
- Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands.
- Continue until all the mixture has been used, making approximately 24 energy bites.
- Arrange the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Freeze for about 1 hour, or until firm.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Creamy peanut butter can be substituted for crunchy peanut butter.
- Maple syrup or agave nectar may replace honey for a different flavor.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
- Store the bites chilled to maintain their shape.
- Perfect for lunchboxes, road trips, and post-workout snacks
