Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats ((jumbo rolled oats))
1/4 cup instant oats
1/2 cup ground flaxseeds ((milled flax))
1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter ((see notes))
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon quality vanilla extract
1/4 teaspon salt ((if using an unsalted peanut butter))
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons crushed banana chips
2 tablespoons finely chopped dried apple slices
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut ((desiccated coconut, or finely crushed toasted coconut flakes also work))

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine everything together using a spatula. It should all come together and form a sticky but slightly crumbly batter. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more peanut butter and honey. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more oats. See notes.
Divide the batter into 4 medium bowls. If you have a scale, each bowl should weigh 95 grams, but it's fine to just estimate. You can also make these Oatmeal Energy Balls with one mix-in. Skip this step, and make sure you adjust the mix-in recipe accordingly.
For each bowl, add in the mix-in of choice, and mix until everything is well combined.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to press into balls.
Press and roll the batter into roughly 1-inch balls. You should be able to make 6 Oatmeal Energy Balls with each mix-in. Enjoy immediately, and store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.

NO-BAKE ENERGY BITES

No-Bake Energy Bites image

This is a healthy take on the traditional no bake cookies. So good and good for you! I am always asked for this recipe every time I make them. They are a hit with the kids and the adults, and always go quick! I store them in the freezer because I think they taste best frozen, but not necessary.

POWER OATMEAL WITH BLUEBERRIES AND FLAX

Power Oatmeal With Blueberries and Flax image

The name says it all! I've been on a major oatmeal kick lately and wanted to create something that had just enough protein AND still very tasty! I use half a serving of Syntax Vanilla Bean protein powder with this recipe which has 12g of protein, as that is plenty of protein at one time for me - 1/2 a scoop measures a slightly heaping 1/8 cup. Your 'scoop' might be different sized - if you change the volume of the powder, you'll need to adjust the water accordingly. Don't skip the flaxmeal, I think its really important for the texture and flavor! I think you could use frozen blueberries, although I haven't tried it, just be sure to return your oatmeal to the microwave after adding them to warm them up. I usually don't add sugar or milk to my oatmeal and didn't include them in the recipe, but feel free to do so.

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
3/4-1 cup water (use 3/4c for thick and 1c plus for thin oatmeal)
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (see note above)
1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

Combine oats, flax and cinnamon. Add water and mix well. Don't add the protein powder or it will become overcooked-yick!
Microwave for one minute. **Microwave times given are for a 1300wt microwave, you will probably need more time if you have a smaller wattage microwave.**.
Remove bowl from microwave and stir in protein powder.
Return to microwave and set timer for 2 minutes, stirring every 20-30 seconds until your desired consistency is reached. *Watch carefully because the protein powder will puff and you don't want a mess!
Add blueberries and stir - I like warm blueberries so I return the bowl to the microwave for another 15-20 seconds.
Sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
