No-Bake Energy Bites

I got this recipe from a friend who did great in eight a while back. She got it from  smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com (click the link to go directly to the recipe post). Credits to Maggie (author of smashed peas and carrots) for this great recipe!

No-Bake Energy Bites

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips*

1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

*for great in 8, substitute a fruit (like raisins) for the chocolate chips. Or, just leave the chocolate chips out!
