CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER ENERGY BITES - they're no-bake!
1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats or gluten free)
2/3 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, store-bought or homemade
Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, to make the mix easier to handle and mold.
Once chilled, roll into 1" diameter balls
Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Makes about 20-25 balls.
If the mix seems to dry, add in an extra tablespoon or two of honey or peanut butter. Â If the mix seems too wet (which may happen if you use natural peanut butter), add extra oatmeal.
HEALTHY MANGO-GINGER OVERNIGHT OATS (makes 4 servings)
1 1/3 cups water
2/3 cup canned unsweetened light coconut milk
2 Tbsp honey
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 cups cubed fresh or frozen mango
Pomegranate seeds (optional)
Place 1/2 cup oats in each four-pint jar (Mason jars work well here).
In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine water, coconut milk, honey, and ginger. Pour over oats in jars.
Add 1/2 cup mango to each jar.
Cover; chill overnight or until oats are soft. Top with pomegranate seeds, if desired.
Enjoy!
