Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup flaxseed meal (optional for added nutrition)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all ingredients and a large mixing bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Mix Ingredients: In the large bowl, combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), mini chocolate chips, flaxseed meal, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

      Stir Constantly: Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until everything is evenly combined. You may find it easier to mix with your hands if the dough isn’t coming together completely.

        Form the Bites: Once the mixture is well combined, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used, spacing the bites about an inch apart.

          Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the energy bites to firm up.

            Store: Once firm, transfer the bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer storage.

              Enjoy: Grab these treats for a quick grab-and-go snack during busy school mornings!
