Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats (quick cooking or old fashioned)
  • 1/4 cup flax meal
  • 1/2 cup M&M’s
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, flax meal, creamy peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, M&M’s, and chopped peanuts. Stir thoroughly until everything is well blended and forms a sticky mixture.
  2. Form Balls: Using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, roll into compact balls with your hands. Place each ball on a lined baking sheet or tray, spacing them evenly. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  3. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, allowing the energy bites to firm up and hold their shape.
  4. Store: Once firm, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and enjoy as a quick snack anytime.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, ensure oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Replace peanut butter with any nut or seed butter as a variation.
  • Add mix-ins like chia seeds, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to customize flavor.
  • Keep refrigerated for best texture and freshness, and consume within one week.
  • If mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter; if too wet, add more oats.
