Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup toasted shredded coconut (either briefly in the oven or sauté pan; cool before mixing with the chocolate)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is chilled. (This will help the mixture stick together more easily.)
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls.
*If you have trouble getting the energy balls to hold together, add more peanut butter to make the mixture a bit more sticky.
**If you would rather, you can also just press the mixture into a square baking dish to make flat energy bars instead of round energy balls.
Enjoy!
***Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
