1 cup old-fashioned oats

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup ground flaxseed

½ cup chocolate chips

⅓ cup honey

1 t. vanilla

Stir everything together in a large mixing bowl until combined. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the mixture is chilled. Roll into 1-inch balls. Serve or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to one week or freeze up to three months. Makes 20-25 energy bites.

Cook’s note: I personally don’t refrigerate the mixture before rolling into balls.
