Happy Memorial Day! I hope you have the chance to enjoy some sunshine with your family and friends. If you can’t tell, I have quite the sweet tooth. I’m always looking for safe ways to add something with chocolate into my daily life. This recipe can make energy bars if you place ingredients into an 8×8 inch pan. I like to eat them rolled into balls as a treat. You can also add in flax seed, chopped dried fruit, or chopped nuts for a different flavor. These are for the days when you crave a little something after dinner or you can eat them first thing in the morning with plain yogurt and berries. Most of the ingredients can be found in your pantry already. Enjoy!
Recipe
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 cup honey, agave, or maple syrup
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup old fashion oats
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup all natural peanut or almond butter
Mix together all dry ingredients. Mix in honey and room temperature peanut butter to make it easier to stir. Place dough in refrigerator for 1 hour. Roll into 15-20 1 inch balls. Keep in airtight container in refrigerator or freezer for two weeks.
