No Bake Energy Bites

Oh boy.....these could be dangerous!!!!!  But wait!  They really are not that bad. 

I do better eating 5-6 small meals a day.  When I saw this recipe I knew a couple(maybe 3)would be prefect with an apple as a small meal.

Well now I am not sure it was a good idea to make them in the first place.  These are my kinda snack!!!!

But don't take my word for it....make some yourself!!!

No Bake Energy Bites
1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup chopped walnuts(only because that is all I had)
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything in a bowl and mix well.  Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or so. Once chilled, roll into ball.  Store in an airtight container and watch them disappear!!!!

You could substitute just about anything for what I used. Including the peanut butter for sun butter.  Maybe you don't like chocolate(what is wrong with you?!?)?  Trade the chocolate chips for raisins if that makes you feel better.  I would stick with the mini chocolate chips, but hey, that is just me!

Enjoy!

I think I repinned this on Pinterest when I saw them...glad to hear someone made them! I like that you said you can substitute peanut butter with Sun Butter. My daughter has a peanut allergy, so I would definitely do that...or even WoW Butter...it tastes just like peanut butter but is made with peas. Can't wait to try this recipe out eventually!
