Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 Tablespoon flaxseed
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds or hemp seeds
- 2 Tablespoons raisins
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
- Pinch of sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup sunflower seed butter
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flaxseed, chia or hemp seeds, raisins, chocolate chips, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir these dry ingredients well to distribute them evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Combine: Add the sunflower seed butter and maple syrup to the dry mixture. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix everything until all ingredients are well incorporated and you have a sticky, cohesive mixture.
- Form the Energy Bites: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form small, bite-sized balls. You should be able to make about 11 to 12 balls from this batch.
- Store Properly: Place the formed energy bites on a plate or tray and refrigerate them for up to 1-2 weeks to keep fresh. Alternatively, you can freeze them for up to 3 months for longer storage.
Notes
- You can substitute raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates.
- Chia seeds can be replaced by hemp seeds for a slightly different nutrient profile.
- For a vegan sweetener, ensure your maple syrup is pure and unfiltered.
- These energy bites do not require baking or cooking and are safe to eat immediately after forming and chilling.
- Perfect as a quick snack before or after workouts, or a healthy treat for kids.
