These no-bake energy bites taste just like a real Monster Cookie! My boys like them, and I like them because I don’t have to monitor multiple batches of cookies in the oven. I store them in an air tight container for the week for quick after school snacks. I find myself grabbing them for a healthy sweet treat just as often as the kids do!
One note about these – my boys love them with M&Ms. In these photos, I only had normal sized M&Ms, so that’s what I used, however it is pretty difficult to get them to hold together with the larger M&M pieces. I recommend using either mini chocolate chips or mini M&Ms for these. :). Sometimes you gotta go with what you have in the pantry though, right?!
Monster Cookie Energy Bites
Ingredients
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup raw old fashioned oats
2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal
6 Tbsp mini M&Ms (or sub mini chocolate chips)
Instructions
In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Add oats, shredded coconut, and flaxseed meal and stir well to combine. Fold in M&Ms and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes. After the mixture has chilled, shape into balls. I make mine about the size of a golfball. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
