Vegan Diaries - Energy Bites

I mentioned that I was looking for vegan dessert options.  I'm not sure where I found this recipe.  I tried it (it's REALLY easy to make) and it was a huge hit.  And, the best part?  You don't have to bake them!  

Don't blame me if you get hooked on them.

Here's the recipe:

Energy Bites

ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup agave
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup oats
2/3 cup toasted, shredded coconut*
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
6 TBSP mini chocolate chips 

directions:
In  a bowl, mix peanut butter, vanilla and agave.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Chill until set.
Shape into 1 inch balls.
Store in container in the refrigerator.


*I put the shredded coconut in the food processor so it didn't have big chunks of coconut sticking out.  I also used unsweetened coconut.

**Feel free to substitute honey for the agave.  Also feel free to add less honey or agave.

Enjoy!
