Energy Balls
These are chewy, nutty, easy to make, and are a delicious healthy snack. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 3 months. They thaw in minutes at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts whatever you have on hand…pecans, peanuts
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 pinch kosher salt optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place the oats, peanut butter, flax seed, honey, vanilla, nuts, and coconut. If your peanut butter is unsalted, add a pinch of salt too. Mix to combine. The mixture will be thick.
- Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the mixture, then use your hands to roll it into balls.
- Place on a large plate or baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm.
- The energy bites keep well in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well.
