Ingredients

Scale

  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (choose one from the variations below)

Double Chocolate

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

White Chocolate Cranberry

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Lemon

  • 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tsp poppy seeds

Monster Cookie

  • 1/4 cup mini M&M’s
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Trail Mix

  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Almond Joy

  • Reduce oats by 1/4 cup (use 3/4 cup oats instead of 1 cup)
  • 1/4 cup almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Cake Batter

  • 1/4 cup sprinkles
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder

Instructions

  1. Mix Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, old fashioned oats, ground flax seeds, and honey. Stir well until the mixture is uniform.
  2. Add Mix-ins: Incorporate your choice of 1/2 cup mix-ins from the variations provided, folding them gently into the base mixture to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Chill Mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to roll into balls.
  4. Roll into Bites: With slightly damp hands, take portions of the mixture and roll them into 12 evenly sized bites or balls. Damp hands prevent sticking and help shape the energy bites smoothly.
  5. Store: Place the rolled energy bites in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will keep fresh for up to one week.

Notes

  • Calorie count provided is for one energy bite.
  • Slightly damp hands help in rolling the bites more easily.
  • Refrigeration helps the bites firm up making them easier to handle.
  • You can customize energy bites with your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruit beyond the listed variations.
  • Store energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
