The photo below for “5 ingredient peanut butter energy bites” stopped me in my tracks and inspired me into action right away.
I was thrilled I had flax seeds in my frig and that I could readily make them into flour in my coffee grinder, and thus, bear my first batch of Energy Bites ~
Oats. so good for you. but i have fulfilled my morning oatmeal routine, and rarely am hungry for them, and living in so. cal., cold mornings are few and far between. However to get healthy oats in otherwise, using them to bind two of my favorite ingredients: peanut butter and chocolate chips, is really the bomb!
And then there’s honey. I make few dessert or sweet treats because of the two ingredients I never like to add: sugar and flour ~ I’ve branched out to coconut flour, but I still lament adding sugar in large quantities, even in cupfuls ~ I don’t seem as much to mind adding the honey ‘ and the brown sugar, and the maple syrup ~ 🙂 I am not using honey in my coffee these days, so there’s room for it in these edibles.
I’ve checked out a bunch of recipes enough to make a Pinterest page and tweaked the original recipe already, adding chia seeds, maca powder, coconut flakes, coconut oil or ghee ~ I’m devoutly for carob chips, so they will be in the mix soon too ~ and golden raisins, sunflower seeds, pumpkin puree and seeds, and more . . .
It is a prayer answered: how else could I eat my peanut butter and chocolate / carob chips instead of spoonfuls directly from the jar? ~ I’ve mixed into yogurt, and added more ingredients, but the ease of making and intaking a batch of bites tops all so far!
All I crave on the side is a fresh apple ~ or the apple chai recipe to make too ~
