Ingredients

Scale

¼ cup coconut oil (52g)
¼ cup honey (85g)
½ cup peanut butter (watch the ingredients) (128g)
1 cup oats (81g)
1 cup shredded coconut (85g)
½ cup milled flaxseed (84g)
1 cup pretzels (50g)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl), combine the coconut oil, honey, and peanut butter until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Measure out 1 cup of pretzels into a blender (or food processor). Pulse until they are half crumbly and half small pieces, about 5-6 pulses. From your blended pretzels, you’ll need ½ cup of pretzel bits (they take up less space after blending, so starting with 1 cup of whole pretzels should give you the right amount). Add the pretzels to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
Without rinsing out the blender, add the oats, shredded coconut and flaxseed. Pulse until the oats and coconut are crumbled together in small pieces, about 5-6 rounds. Pour the dry ingredients into the stand mixer.
Using the paddle attachment, turn the mixer on low (or mix with a spoon) and mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and sticky.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the energy bites onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer, although the freezer is preferred if you’ll be packing these in lunches. Energy bites keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, but we always eat them up before then!
For an extra indulgent treat (and to make the bites prettier), dip them in chocolate and roll them in extra crushed pretzels.
