Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup crystallized ginger
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup oats
  • ⅓ cup flax meal
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup honey*

Instructions

  • If you purchased large chunks of crystallized ginger, chop the pieces into smaller pieces so they mix well into the bites.
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor to blend until the mixture is well formed.
  • Use a tablespoon to scoop out mixture and use your hands to roll into about 15 energy bites.

Notes

  • Instead of regular honey, if you want a little more heat swap in hot honey or half regular and half hot.
  • If you want to make bars instead of balls, just push the mixture evenly into a small loaf pan. Refrigerate it for about an hour and slice it into bars.
