Energy Bites

Kids are always looking for snacks that are delicious, right? Well, we have found a winner
with these Energy Bites because not only are they super yummy, they also are filled with
some pretty good things. 

A friend gave me this recipe a few years ago and now my kids ask for these a lot. 
I usually double the recipe. For some reason when I tried tripling it, they were too dry 
and not as good. Since I have a kid who is not a coconut fan, I omit the coconut and add 
the extra oatmeal. Enjoy!


 No Bake Energy Bites

Ingredients:
1 cup dry oatmeal
⅔ cup coconut (toasted flakes), or just substitute more dry oatmeal
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ
½ cup chocolate chips
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp. chia seed
1 tsp. Vanilla

Mix all ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. 
Let chill 30 minutes in fridge. Then roll into balls.
Makes 20-25 1-inch balls.
Keep up to 1 week in refrigerator.
