PROTEIN BALLS - ENERGY BITES
Ingredients
- 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used gluten-free old-fashioned oats)
- 2/3 cup oasted coconut flakes (most of the time I don't toast mine and I can't tell a difference)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed.
- Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1" in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Notes
Makes about 20-25 balls. ** I ALWAYS double this recipe. My kids love these so much.
**This recipe is highly customizable! Sometimes I'll throw in some protein powder, sometimes we do mini m&m's...if ya like fruit you can even throw in some dried fruit! :)
ENJOY!
