No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bites

Back to school for summer and looking for some easy to go snacks! I found this recipe from Cooking Classy, found here: http://www.cookingclassy.com/2014/06/bake-chocolate-energy-bites/.

I really like energy bites because they can be made in advance and last a few days to a week for easy to go snacking!

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup no stir almond butter or creamy peanut butter 
• 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp agave (honey if not vegan)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• Up to 4 tsp warm water, as needed
• 1 cup old fashioned oats (raw)
• 3/4 cup toasted or raw coconut 
• 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
• 6 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions: 

1. Mix the almond butter, agave, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder together. If too thick, add 2 tablespoons of water as needed. 

2. Stir in oatmeal, coconut flakes, flaxseed meal, and chocolate chips. Stir until everything is well combined!

3. Place in the fridge or freezer and chill. I left mine in the fridge for about 15 minutes. This will help the mixture be easier to work with and roll out in the bites.

4. Roll mixture into bites of about 1 inch balls. Store in the fridge.
