Equipment

Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Energy Bites Base

1 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup coconut flakes toasted
1/2 cup almond butter or other nut butter (see notes)
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/3 cup agave or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch salt

Instructions

Place all the base ingredients and mix-ins of choice in a large mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
Place bowl in the fridge for at least a half hour.
Once chilled, roll into 1 inch balls.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Variations:

Almond butter - This can be substituted with creamy peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
Agave - You can substitute with honey or maple syrup.
Mix-ins - You can really use whatever mix-ins you'd like! I most often use chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. You can also try dried blueberries, dried strawberries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chunks.

Freezing:

Store in a zipper bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw for ten minutes before eating.

Pro-tip: To prevent the energy balls from freezing in one giant clump, line them up on a cookie sheet (not touching), freeze until solid, then store in a zipper bag.
