Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dry oats (I use 1/2 quick oats and 1/2 cup old-fashioned)
• 1/2 cup ground flax seed 
• 2/3 cups toasted coconut (I toast mine on low in a dry skillet for a few minutes)
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.

2. Using your hands, shape into balls (about the size of traditional meatballs ... around 1"). You will really want to squeeze and mold these tightly to get them into a ball shape. If your mixture seems too dry to shape, squeeze in a little more honey or add in a little more creamy peanut butter.

3. Roll into bite-size balls.

4. Store in the fridge in an air-tight container. Let chill for 30 minutes before you try!

ENJOY!
