cookie dough no-bake energy bites

What??  These cookie dough bites are good for you?!  (Shhh...  Don't tell your kids!)

Full of natural ingredients...  these little no-bake bites are a great treat packed full of healthy energy.

Of course, I offered them to Bjørn as "cookie dough" (That's what they taste like!!) so he would try one...  he doesn't need to know any better and he loved them!

These yummy little bites were a huge hit in this house...  with me, a few friends, and both of the big kids.  We finished off the whole batch in about an hour of snacking!

(I love the extra coconut kick and healthy fats from the coconut oil, but if you don't have any - feel free to use more honey instead!)

Cookie Dough No-Bake Energy Bites Recipe

adapted from smashed peas and carrots

Ingredients:

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup sweetened or unsweetened flaked coconut

1/2 cup ground almonds, ground flaxseed, or wheat germ

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup raw honey

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well combined.  You may want to use your [clean] hands for this...  it's much easier!! 

Once completely combined, roll the dough into small balls and place on a parchment or wax-paper lined baking sheet.  Chill in the fridge or freezer until completely set before serving... at least an hour. 

Store in tupperware in the fridge or freezer!
