Oatmeal Chia Bites

I love when recipes are shared with me (so send me your fav’s!).  About a week ago I was chatting with a research vendor about a project I am thinking about working with them on and she passed along a fun recipe that includes Quaker Oats!  Now, this definitely isn’t low in sugar, but it does have pretty natural and basic ingredients…you can even rationalize popping one since it has flax and chia seeds (I promise you, you can’t taste them).   These are super quick!  I forgot to pick up vanilla at the grocery store, so mine was missing that, but it still tasted great!   

Ingredients:

1 Cup Quaker Oatmeal

1/2 Cup Natural Peanut Butter (or other nut butter)

1/3 Cup Honey (preferably natural)

1 Cup Coconut Flakes (preferably unsweetened but you can use either)

½- 3/4 Cup Flaxseed or Chia (I mix them both)

1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips

1 Tsp Vanilla

Directions:

Mix together.  Roll into balls. Store in the refrigerator.
