1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter (or almond butter or pecan butter)

1/4 cup honey (or sub pure maple syrup or coconut palm syrup)

1/2 cup toasted walnuts (or pecans)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired

¼ cup dark chocolate chips, dairy free if desired

1 teaspoon coconut oil

방향

Add all ingredients (besides ingredients for the drizzle) to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are well combined and come together like cookie dough. You should still have some chunks of nuts. FYI: you may need to stop a few times and scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Process again until combined.

Use a medium cookie scoop to grab dough and then roll into balls. You should get about 18 balls. Place energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted. Drizzle over balls, then place back in the freezer for 10 minutes. Balls should be kept in an airtight container in the freezer and will last up to 3 months. Enjoy them straight from the freezer. If they are too hard, let them sit at room temp for 5-10 minutes.
