Ingredients:

  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup ground flaxseed
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. In your large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups rolled oats, 0.5 cup ground flaxseed, 0.5 cup shredded coconut, 1 tbsp chia seeds, and 0.25 tsp sea salt. Note: Mixing the dry ingredients first prevents clumps of flax or salt in the finished bites.
  2. Toss the dry mixture with a spatula until the flax and chia are evenly distributed.
  3. Add the 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 0.5 cup honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract directly into the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir the mixture thoroughly with your stiff spatula until the oats are fully hydrated and a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
  5. Gently fold in the 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips until they are evenly dispersed throughout.
  6. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Note: This step is non negotiable; it's what allows the oats to absorb the liquids so the bites don't fall apart.
  7. After 30 minutes, remove the bowl and use your cookie scoop to portion out 1 inch mounds.
  8. Roll each portion between your palms until a smooth, round sphere is formed.
  9. Place the finished bites into an airtight container, layering them with parchment paper if you're stacking them.
