- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup milled flaxseed
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips optional
- ¼ cup protein powder optional
- ½ cup all-natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, flaxseed, chocolate chips, and protein powder and mix.
Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla and mix well (I often use my hands to mix to make sure everything is combined). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the mixture and use your hands to help roll it into small, bite-sized balls.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Separate the layers with parchment or wax paper.
Make ahead of time. These will keep at room temperature for 1–2 days, in the refrigerator for 1–2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow frozen bites to thaw before eating.
Variations. Substitute your favorite kind of chips (white chocolate, butterscotch, milk chocolate, etc.) for the mini chocolate chips, if desired.
