Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural nut butter (such as almond or peanut)

1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup

1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional Add-ins: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) or seeds (e.g., chia or pumpkin)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, mini dark chocolate chips, and sea salt. If you’re opting for chopped nuts or seeds, include them at this stage as well, ensuring all dry ingredients are well mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the natural nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, creating a creamy texture.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly combined; you should have a sticky mixture that holds together. If it appears too crumbly, add a bit more nut butter or honey to achieve the right consistency.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling helps firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape into bites.

          Form Bites: After chilling, use your hands to scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture, rolling it into a ball shape. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process until you’ve used up the entire mixture.

            Final Chill: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill the energy bites for an additional 30 minutes. This final step will help them firm up nicely.

              Store & Enjoy: Once set, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, feel free to freeze them. Enjoy these delicious bites whenever you need a quick energy boost throughout your day!
