Energy Bites

These come from Brynn. I typically keep a container of them in the fridge for snacking.

Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned oats

2/3 cup ground flaxseed meal

1 1/2 cups peanut butter

1/2 cup honey

2 dashes vanilla extract

pinch of salt

add-ins: mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit, chia seeds, etc. (I use chocolate chips)

Directions

1. In a food processor (or blender), process the oats until coarsely chopped. 
2. Add the flaxseed meal, peanut butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Mix until the consistency is soft but not overly sticky or crumbly.
3. If the mixture is overly dry, add peanut butter one tablespoon at a time.
4. Add in any add-in ingredients and mix with your hands until evenly combined.
5. Roll the dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate until firm enough to stack in a lidded container or in a bag. The energy bites can be frozen for several months or refrigerated for a week or so.
