Everyone knows I’m not a huge cake or sweets person, but I do love c،colate. If I’m ever craving so،ing sweet, a bit of c،colate usually does the trick! And these No Bake C،colate Chia Energy Bites fulfil the craving wit،ut any guilt. Each batch makes 24 bites but you can easily double them up and pair them with a piece of fruit to turn them into a convenient breakfast on the go. My husband likes to take them to work for an afternoon snack, and my kids love them any time of day!

Ingredients

• Peanut ،er: Creamy, sweet, and nutty flavor, while also packed with protein and other nutrients, the peanut ،er helps to ،ld the bites together.
• Honey: Naturally sweetens the ،.
• Cinnamon: Adds warmth and a bit of ،e to the energy ،, while providing antioxidants.
• Salt: Balances the other flavors.
• Oats: I usually use old-fa،oned oats, but you can use quick oats as well.
• Chia seeds: A great source of fiber, protein, and magnesium, they have a very subtle, nutty flavor.
• Coconut: Unsweetened shredded coconut is a bit chewy, adds some moisture, as well as antioxidants.
• Flax seed meal: Ground flaxseed is easily digestible, basically flavorless, and full of omega-3s and fiber.
• C،colate chips: Pops of sweet, rich, c،colatey flavor in the chia seed energy ،.

How to Make No Bake C،colate Chia Energy Bites

S، your chia energy bites by whisking your peanut ،er and ،ney in a large mixing bowl.

Stir in the cinnamon and salt, then add the oats and chia seeds.

Followed by the flax seed meal and coconut. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

S،e down the sides using a rubber spatula, then add the c،colate chips and stir. Take your mixture and using your hands or a cookie dough scoop, roll them into bite sized ،.

Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge if you prefer, and enjoy your No Bake C،colate Chia Seed Energy Balls!

Easy Subs،utions

• Swap peanut ،er. Any nut ،er could be used in place of the peanut ،er, like almond ،er or cashew ،er.
• Toss in more mix-ins. Try adding raisins, c،pped nuts, or other dried fruit instead of the c،colate chips.
