Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup nut butter (choose your favorite: peanut, almond, or cashew)

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness

½ cup chia seeds for added nutrition

½ cup mini chocolate chips (or substitute with dried fruit for a healthier version)

½ cup ground flaxseeds (optional but recommended for extra fiber)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor

A pinch of sea salt to enhance the taste

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, your choice of nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and result in a sticky consistency.

    Add the Extras: Introduce the chia seeds, ground flaxseeds (if you’ve decided to include them), and mini chocolate chips (or your chosen dried fruit) to the bowl. Add a pinch of sea salt. If the mixture feels too crumbly or dry, gradually mix in a little more nut butter or syrup until the mixture can easily hold together.

      Form the Balls: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into bite-sized balls with your palms. Arrange the formed energy bites on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper for easy removal.

        Chill: Place the tray or plate in the refrigerator and let the energy bites chill for at least 30 minutes. This cooling period is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and firmness!

          Enjoy and Store: Once chilled, you can savor your energizing oatmeal bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week, making them a perfect nutritious snack to grab on the go!
