Ingredients
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, gently crush the cornflakes into smaller pieces using your hands or the back of a spoon.
Step 2
Add the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chia seeds (if using), and salt to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and peanut butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Do not let it come to a boil.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly coated.
Step 6
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, take portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, approximately 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Once all the bites are rolled, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Step 8
Store the Cornflake Energy Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
