Energy Bites

1 cup (3.5 ounces) old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup (1.25 ounces) ground flaxseed meal
2/3 to 1 cup (6-9 ounces) nut butter (see note)
1/4 cup (3 ounces) honey
Dash of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (more to taste, if needed)
Add-ins: mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit, chia seeds, etc.

In a food processor, add the oats and process until coarsely chopped. If you don't have a food processor coarsely chop the oats in a blender and add to a bowl.

Add the flaxseed meal, nut butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Process/mix until the mixture comes together into a soft but not overly sticky ball.

If the mixture is overly dry, add nut butter a tablespoon at a time and process/mix until the consistency is soft but not overly sticky or crumbly.

Add any add-in ingredients, and mix with your hands until evenly combined.

Roll the dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate until firm enough to stack in a lidded container or in a bag. The energy bites can be frozen for several months or refrigerated for a week or so.
