- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup pure raw honey
- 1 Tbsp hemp seeds or chia seeds
- 2/3 cup original Grape Nuts cereal or any whole grain cereal, crushed
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed* OR collagen/protein
- 1/3 cup collagen peptides or protein powder* OR ground flaxseed
- 1/3-1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a medium-large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Place bowl in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Remove from refrigerator and form into balls (about 1" in diameter, or desired size). I have found it easiest to spray my hands with non-stick cooking spray and use my hands to form the balls.
Store no bake energy bites in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days.
*Note: either use ground flaxseed OR collagen peptides/protein powder. If you choose to add both, you will need more peanut butter and/or honey to even out the texture.
I use Further Food Collagen Peptides and love them, especially the vanilla! But the flavorless version is also great to have for a variety of recipes, and it dissolves easily. Use my code wellnessforthewin for a small discount on their products.
