Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1: Combine the oats, vanilla protein, peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut, and chocolate chips.
Step 2: Form 20-24 small balls of dough using your hands. Place them on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm. Then, place the bites in a sealable container and keep them refrigerated.
Tips:
- Place the energy bites in a sealable container and refrigerate them. They will keep for up to four weeks.
- To freeze energy bites, place them in a freezer-safe ziplock bag and put them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- For more manageable and workable nut butter, warm the peanut butter in a microwave-safe dish for 10-second sessions for softened nut butter.
- Try using almond or cashew butter.
- Add more nut butter if the mixture is too dry.

- Coconut: Decrease oats by 1 cup and add 1 cup of sweetened coconut flakes.
- Monster: A fun kid version by adding chopped M&M’s.
