Welcome to a quick and easy recipe for 5-ingredient peanut butter energy bites! This is a perfect snack option for those who are always on the go or need a quick energy boost. These energy bites are not only delicious but are also packed with nutrition, thanks to the wholesome ingredients like peanut butter, flaxseed, and oats.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Mixing Bowl:
Get a medium-sized mixing bowl ready for combining your ingredients.
2. Combine Peanut Butter and Honey:
Add the 2/3 cup peanut butter and 2 tbsp honey to the mixing bowl. Stir well until the two ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
Once the peanut butter and honey mixture is smooth, add the 1/2 cup flaxseed and 1 cup oats to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Incorporate Chocolate Candies:
Gently fold in the 1/2 cup chocolate candies. Make sure they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
5. Chill the Mixture:
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up. This makes it easier to handle and roll into balls.
6. Shape the Bites:
After chilling, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a small ball. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used.
7. Store and Enjoy:
Place the energy bites in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage.

Tips:

- Use a natural peanut butter for a healthier option, as it typically contains less added sugar and salt.

- For a different flavor profile, you can substitute almond butter or any other nut butter for the peanut butter.

- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or a splash of milk until you reach the desired consistency.

- Feel free to add a handful of dried fruits, nuts, or seeds to enhance the nutritional value.

- Chilling the mixture before forming into bites can make it easier to handle and shape.

And there you have it! Simple, nutritious, and delicious 5-ingredient peanut butter energy bites. Store them in an airtight container and enjoy them as a quick snack whenever you need a boost of energy.
