10 Minute Energy Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)

• 2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 1/2 cup ground flax seed

• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)

• 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.*

2. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1" in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
