9th Day of Christmas in a Jar 2014 - No Bake Engery Bites

No-Bake energy bites are not only fast and easy to make, but you can customize them however you'd like. The only downside is that they need to be refrigerated. I used this recipe which also gives you ideas for how and what to sub out for other items.

You will need:

• 1 cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal (not quick cook), I like Bob Red Mills the best: Amazon affiliate link
• 1/2 cup Peanut Butter or any nut butter (I like the Octonuts Creamy Cashew Butter: Amazon affiliate link)
• 1/3 cup Honey or Agave Nectar
• 2/3 cup Coconut Flakes
• 1/2 cup Ground Flaxseeds
• 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips are my favorite and soy-free: Amazon affiliate link)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (I like to make my own!)
• 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds {optional}
• Medium Cookie Scoop

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands or spoon.

Cover and put into the fridge for 30 minutes. 

 

Once chilled, form into balls. I found it easiest to use my Medium Cookie Scoop to scoop out a scoopful and then form into a ball from there. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
