Peanut Butter Energy Bites
Description
The Peanut Butter Energy Bites feature a blend of rolled oats and coconut flakes for chewiness, mixed with creamy peanut butter and ripe banana as binders. The addition of brown flax seed, chia, and hemp seeds boosts texture and fiber content. Sweetened naturally with honey, the mixture is pulsed to combine before folding in dairy-free milk chocolate chips for discreet pockets of sweetness. Rolled into small balls, they firm up after chilling, providing dense, portable snacks suitable for an energy boost throughout the day.
This recipe is adaptable for varied tastes by swapping in other nut or seed butters and adding spices, dried fruits, or nuts. The bites keep fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or can be frozen for up to three months, making them convenient for advance prepping. Vegan versions are also possible by using maple syrup or dates in place of honey.
