No-Bake Energy Cookie Bites

1 Cup rolled oats

⅔ cups toasted coconut flakes

½ cups peanut butter

½ cups chocolate chips (optional)

⅓ cups honey

½ cups ground flaxseed or wheat germ

1 tsp vanilla extract

Some other fun substitutions for the chocolate chips (or an addition to them) could include:

• Chopped dried fruit (apricots, dates, raisins, etc.)
• Dried berries (cranberries, cherries, etc.)
• Chopped almonds, pecans, walnuts, or sunflower seeds
• Other chips (butterscotch, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, M&Ms, etc.)

Directions

1. Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1-inch in diameter.)
2. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
