No Bake Energy Bites

I find so many recipies online....  These little yummy balls of enery came to me as a link from a website I like on facebook.  If you have the time you really should check out
 The 5 dollar Dinner mom.  She featured this recipie from another new favorite blog of mine Smashed Peas and Carrots.  Her recipie for No Bake Energy Bites  sparked my interest right way. 

Ha Ha, I literally made them within an hour of seeing the recipie.  You can vary the recipe in so many ways....

I didn't have shredded coconut so I substituted crushed Wheaties cereal.
I don't ever have ground flax seed so I just omited it.
I only had regular sized chocolate chips so i just ran a knife through them.
You could add other nuts, or dried fruit also.

Seriously folks, who doesn't have peanut butter, honey, oats, and vanilla in their cupboard??

The recipe:

1 cup Oats

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

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes ( substitued 1 cup crushed Wheaties cereal )

1/2 cup ground flaxseed ( I omited this )

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

 

 

Mix oats, peanut butter, honey and vanilla together.  ad your mix ins......

 

Chill in refrigerator for about an hour.  Roll into little balls. 

 

 HEAVEN!!!

 

 

Store in refrigerator for about a week.  Yeah right!  Like they will last that long......
