Oatmeal Peanut Butter Energy Bites/Balls
Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup crispy rice cereal
1 cup peanut butter (you could use any nut butter)
1 cup ground flaxseed
2/3 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
In a large Pyrex measuring cup, combine all wet ingredients. Microwave in 30 second increments until the honey and peanut butter are almost runny. Mix wets into dries until evenly distributed.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before forming into 1-2 inch balls. (If the mixture isn't holding together well enough you can add a little more nut butter or honey to help it bind). Keep refrigerated for an easy snack on the go.
Feel free to include other "add-ins" like chopped almonds, raisins, etc.
