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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Form the Bites:
   • 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.
4. 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.
• Flavor Variations: Substitute the nut butter with cookie butter for a different flavor or add spices like cinnamon or cocoa powder for a chocolate version.

Enjoy!
