Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
- 0.33 cup honey or maple syrup for vegan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips mini or regular
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
- Stir until well combined. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before rolling.
- Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
