Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of flaxseed, and 2/3 cup of dried coconut meat.
- Stir these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Add 12 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
- Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients. It's important to make sure that the peanut butter and honey are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 cup of chocolate candies.
- Fold these ingredients into the mixture gently but thoroughly, ensuring even distribution.
- Use a spoon or a small cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the mixture.
- Roll each portion between your hands to form small, bite-sized balls. It may be helpful to lightly wet your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or a large plate lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Once the energy bites are firm, transfer them to an airtight container.
- Store the container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips:
- Make sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors and ensure each bite has a bit of everything.
- If the mixture is too dry to form into balls, add a little more honey or peanut butter to help bind the ingredients together.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider adding a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder to the mix.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure that all your energy bites are the same size and shape.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding different mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or seeds.
- To make the bites vegan, you can substitute the honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
In just a few simple steps, you have a batch of delicious and nutritious No-bake Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Energy Bites ready to enjoy. These bites are perfect for a quick snack, a pre-workout boost, or even a healthy dessert alternative. Store them in an airtight container and enjoy them throughout the week!
