No Bake Energy Bites
There is no baking, no cooking, no melting, no nothing. They taste fab and there's not a hint of tasting 'like they're good for you'.

- Prep Time: 40 mins
- Total Time: 40 mins (+ chilling time)
- Yield: 15-20 1x
- Category: Snacks
- Method: Chilled
- Cuisine: Healthy
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup jumbo porridge oats
- 2/3 cup shredded coconut (NOT sweetened)
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup ground flax seed
- ½ cup chocolate chips (I used plain - otherwise it gets a bit too sweet)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Measure all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine - it's much easier to start with a spoon and then finish off with your hands.
- Chill the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, use a spoon to scoop out balls of the mixture and roll it in your hands to make balls - approximately 15-20.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
Smooth peanut butter works much better than crunchy in this recipe as it is often a bit looser and therefore everything combines easier in the mixing stage.
