Flavorful, but not too sweet. Chewy but with a bit of crunch. Healthy but easy to make. I just described The Best Energy Bites (No Rolling Required) and you have found them!
Combine all the ingredients (except the M&M’s) in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
2 cups old fashioned oats, 1 cup almond butter, 1/3 cup honey, 2 Tbsp chia seeds, 1½ tsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla
Once mixed, pour the mixture onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the oat mixture and use a rolling pin (or your hands!) to flatten the mixture into a thin layer.
Sprinkle the M&M's on top and push them down into the oat mixture.
¼ cup mini M&M's
Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for an hour and then break into bite sized pieces.
Store remaining energy bites in a sealed container in the freezer.
