Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or substitute with almond butter for a nut-free option)

1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (substitute with dried fruit for a healthier twist)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture

Instructions
 

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. If you opted for coconut flakes or nuts, include them in this dry mixture.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the smooth wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all the ingredients are well blended; the mixture should be sticky and hold together.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips (or chosen dried fruit) until they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.

          Form Energy Bites: Use your hands to scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the mixture, rolling it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat the process until all the mixture is rolled into bite-sized energy balls, yielding about 12-15 energy bites.

            Chill: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the formed energy bites on it. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and set.

              Store and Enjoy: After chilling, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. These bites can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week, or stored in the freezer for a longer-lasting portable snack.
