No Bake Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Energy Bites (Vegan) + Video

11/04/2018 by The Mama Maven

Several months ago I tried protein energy bites and loved them. To me, they tasted exactly like chocolate chip cookie dough —  yum! But, they were packed with oat and flax — and safe to eat! So I decided to try to make my own. I try to make this as organic as I can. No Bake Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Energy Bites  

No Bake Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Energy Bites | The Mama Maven Blog

You’ll need:
1 cup organic rolled oats  

1/2 cup organic ground flaxseed meal
1/3 cup maple syrup (if you use honey, it’s not vegan anymore)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used mini ones)

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (can substitute almond butter)
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Can also add in nuts, cinnamon, raisins, etc..

Instructions:
Add together all ingredients in a big bowl and mix. It will be very sticky – kids will love helping! Form into 1 inch (in diameter) balls using your hands. You will have to wash your hands repeatedly, as it gets messy. Arrange the bites on parchment paper and free one hour until set.

If you are carb counting, it works out to 9.5 carbs per ball. You can sub in Gluten Free certified oats if you cannot have gluten.

    These are so perfect for me. I am so much more of a nibbler and need healthy things to be available so I avoid the bad sweets.

    What a delicious snack! It’s almost my daughter’s turn to take in an after school snack for her theater group, so I am printing this off. I bet the kids will love it!

    I love that these are vegan, too! I go for walks with my SIL, who is a vegan, a lot so I think I will make us some of these.

    I love chocolate chip cookies and would love to make these protein energy bites, but I am not a fan of getting my hands messy so I may ask my nephew to help me with it. It would be a great treat for a birthday party and family get together.
