Peanut Butter energy bites

These energy bites are no bake, super easy to make and take less than 10 minutes to put together. Loaded with protein, fiber and healthy fats to keep you full and loaded with energy throughout the day. Made with only 5 ingredients: peanut butter (you can also use almond butter!), old fashioned oats, flax seed, honey and chocolate chips. Everything gets combined in one bowl.

 

The best thing about this recipe is that it is super versatile. If you do not have flax seed on hand substitute with wheat germ. Try dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Add in shredded coconut, cranberries, or cocoa powder.

 

These Peanut Butter Energy Bites could easily pass as dessert. They are the perfect mix between a granola bar and cookie dough. Great to curb the afternoon munchies and the dreaded mid afternoon energy slump.

 

You can even freeze these Peanut Butter Bites if you don’t eat them all within a week.

  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
