Chia Seed Energy Bites

I am going to share a much requested snack recipe with you today.

Each time I have made these and shared them with someone, they have requested the recipe. So it must be a good one! I will share the recipe as I make it here, and link to the original recipe that I adapted (slightly) from. With my changes and without any add-ins, there is just one teaspoon of added sugar per serving. However, we like to add chocolate chips or dried cranberries to ours. Doing this, they become more of a treat than a healthy snack due to the added sugar content.

1 cup oats
3 Tbs. honey
5 Tbs. peanut butter (or other nut butter)
2 Tbsp chia seeds
1/4 tsp vanilla
Additional add-ins, if you choose, such as nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, etc.

In a bowl, combine ingredients together until well mixed.
Add any additional add-ins.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Shape into bites. Store in the refrigerator.
