Suggest a better descriptionStir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1? in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Substitution ideas can abound for just about any of these ingredients! Feel free to substitute in your favorite nut butter (almond butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.) for the peanut butter. And you could also add in some wheat germ in place of some or all of the flax seed. I would caution, though, against substituting agave nectar for the honey, as the honey’s thickness helps hold things together.
The joy of these bites being “no bakes” is that this recipe is super flexible. If you end up needing to omit one of the dry ingredients (such as coconut or flax), just add in some extra of whatever other dry ingredient is remaining (for example, the oats). If you feel like your energy bites are too dry, just add in extra honey or peanut butter.
Some other fun substitutions for the chocolate chips (or an addition to them) could include:
· chopped dried fruit (apricots, dates, raisins, etc.)
· dried berries (cranberries, cherries, etc.)
· chopped almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds
· other chips (butterscotch, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, etc.)
