Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients: oats, crushed pretzels, shredded coconut, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, and extract. Stir everything together to fully combine. I like to use my hands to really get everything nice and coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or a lid) and transfer the energy bite mixture into the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour (or in the freezer for 30 minutes). This will help the mixture firm up a bit and be easier for you to roll into balls later.
After chilling, use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture into individual balls. I like to gather about 2-ish tablespoons worth of mixture. Then roll the mixture tightly into balls, it helps to squeeze the mixture when rolling to help everything stick together. Repeat this process until all bites have been shaped- I usually get about 14-15 bites.
Serve the energy bites immediately, if desired. Keep these bites stored inside of an airtight container in the refrigerator, they’ll keep for about 2 weeks. Otherwise, store them in the freezer to last for 2 months (thaw in fridge before eating them). Room temperature bites will last for a few days if kept out but will be quite soft. For best results, I recommend keeping them in the fridge/freezer. Enjoy!
