Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
• 1/2 cup (125g) crunchy peanut butter
• 1/3 cup (113g) honey, maple syrup, or agave
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (30g) desiccated coconut
• 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup (90g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, coconut, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips until completely combined.
2. Refrigerate the mixture until firm enough to roll into balls - about 30 minutes.
3. Once chilled, roll the dough into 1oz balls. If the mixture is still sticky, you can dampen your hands to make the rolling process easier.
4. Refrigerate or freeze once again to allow them to firm up before eating.

NOTES

These energy bites can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. They also freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
