No Bake Energy Balls

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker years ago and I have tweaked it along the way. There are so many variations or ways to make these. I'll list a few different ingredients at the end of this recipe. 

I usually keep these on hand because I hardly ever have time for a real breakfast, as I am sure most of you can relate. Best of all, my kids will actually eat them :) 

The Fixings:

2 cups of dry oatmeal

1 cup of mini chocolate chips (optional)

1 cup of peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1 cup ground flaxseed

2/3 cup of honey

2 TSP of vanilla extract

**A few variations I have tried that are just are delicious: chia seeds, coconut, another flavor of chips, actual flax seeds, any kind of nuts, such as pecans, almond slivers, crushed walnuts** Possibilities are endless! 

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together.

Roll into the size balls you want (it is going to stick to your fingers!)

I usually keep them in the fridge until I am ready to eat them.

Great for on the go snacks, breakfast, and this recipe makes a lot!

Enjoy Friends!

Lots of love,
