No-Bake Energy Bites

I was on Facebook the other day and another blogger was raving about how delicious these No-Bake Energy Bites were.  She wasn’t kidding.  They were so good I was afraid that my kids would eat them all before I could even get a picture of them.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly and let it chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Once the mix is chilled, roll into balls and enjoy!

Perhaps make 2 batches…these will disappear fast!

My son gave these energy bites a two thumbs up!
