Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Energy Bites

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• One teaspoon of vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional for added crunch)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if desired.
2. Stir the ingredients together until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a bit more peanut butter or honey to achieve a sticky consistency.
3. If you like some extra crunch, fold in the chopped peanuts.
4. Once the mixture is well combined, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle and shape into bites.
5. After chilling, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
6. Place the peanut butter cup energy bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
7. Refrigerate the energy bites for at least another 30 minutes to firm up.
8. Once they are firm, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.

These Peanut Butter Cup Energy Bites are a delicious and nutritious snack, perfect for a quick energy boost. Enjoy!
