Ingredients

1 cup certified gluten-free old fashioned oats
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Enjoy Life recommended
1/4 cup Mini M&Ms see notes
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
pinch salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

To a medium-size mixing bowl add the oats, almond flour, mini chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, chia seeds, and salt then stir with a fork to combine. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla then mix with the fork until the ingredients are well combined.
Scoop 2 Tablespoons of the mixture into your hand then roll into a ball and place inside a glass storage container. If the mixture sticks to your hands, stir in more almond flour. If it’s dry and crumbly, stir in more peanut butter or honey.
Enjoy right away, or refrigerate for up to 5 days (one of my kids prefers the texture after they've firmed up in the fridge, as a heads up if you have texture kiddos too). Freeze the energy bites in in a tightly sealed container or Ziploc freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter before eating.

Notes

To keep the bites dairy-free, use a vegan version of M&Ms such as Pure Food Candy-Coated Chocolate Chips or Unreal Chocolate Gems.
