The "No-Bake-What-So-Ever" Energy Bites

Yes!!! And so delicious & simple. You can follow my recipe or substitute for something similar. And they are no bake, so if you have kiddies, they can even get in on the fun & turning them into balls!!!


I was able to make 50 balls with this recipe & the recipe was analyzed at Calorie Count based off of 1 ball. Obviously the nutritional info will vary according to how many you end up with at the end & the ingredients you end up using. 


Ingredients:


1 cup uncooked rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup wheat germ (don't freak out if you've never heard of this before, you can find in the baking or cereal aisle!)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (I couldn't find dark chocolate! grrr)
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla


Mix all the ingredients for a minute until everything has been incorporated & then chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or so.

Once 30 minutes is up, roll them into tight balls. I placed them on wax paper on a cookie sheet & then put back in the fridge to continue to chill for a little bit. Then transfer to an air tight container & store in the fridge for up to 7 days. 

Although my balls aren't perfect, they sure taste yummy! lol.
