No Bake Energy Bites

I found this recipe at www.smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com. We made these tonight and they are relatively healthy and were really good. Plus, it only took about 10 minutes total. They are really rich, so just a dab'll do ya, which is my favorite kind of dessert! I thought these would be good for Powers for breakfast as a quick bite on the way out of the door, but these would really be good anytime!

No-Bake Energy Bites {Recipe}

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.  Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.  Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy!  Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

(I'm not sure what the best way to mix these would be... the mixture is really sticky so a metal spoon didn't work great. I used my hands, which was messy but it all mixed together well!)
