Equipment
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or substitute for a sweetener of your choice
- 1 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup peanut butter organic
- 1/3 cup honey organic
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips dark or milk
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp flax seeds
- Cinnamon optional for drizzling
- Coconut flakes optional
- Edible flowers optional as garnish
Instructions
- Simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. It should be the same consistency as cookie dough.
- If the mixture is too sticky, you can refrigerate the dough for an hour or so for it to harden. Then, begin rolling the mixture into individual bite-sized balls and placing them on wax paper.
- Garnish them with cinnamon powder, shredded coconut, or edible flowers as you'd like, then serve.
Notes
- You can also easily customize these protein balls however you'd like. For instance, feel free to add a scoop of protein powder for an extra post-workout kick! Other options for including in your peanut butter energy bites:
- Rolled oats
- Almond butter
- Nut butter
- Crushed graham crackers
- Sprinkles
- For a finer energy ball recipe, you can combine the dry ingredients into a food processor to make a smooth, easy to eat consistency.
- You can also store leftover bites in a zip lock bag in the freezer to keep them nice and fresh for a simple and easy snack on the go!
