No-Bake Energy Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or dried fruit, nuts, or seeds)
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will make the mixture easier to handle and form into balls.

- Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Store:
- Place the energy bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Variations:
- Add-ins: Feel free to add nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
