Description

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick cooking)
• 3/4 cup all-natural peanut butter (If your natural peanut butter has been refrigerated and is thick, try popping the measuring cup of peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds)
• 1/3 cup honey (or slightly more if needed to bind mixture together)
• 1/3 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips (I used mini)
• Optional: 1/4 cup wheat bran, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or chia seeds (I used hemp seeds)

Directions

• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients.
• If the dough is sticky, you can refrigerate it for a 2-3 hours or pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes to slightly firm up.
• Form the dough into about 24 tablespoon-sized balls and refrigerate for about an hour before enjoying.
• To store, place energy bites in a ziploc bag or storage container. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
