When preparing Nutty Bliss No-Bake Lunch Energy Bites, the order in which you combine your ingredients plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect texture and flavor. Starting with the dry ingredients allows for a more even distribution of flavors and ensures that all the textures blend seamlessly. By mixing your oats, nuts, seeds, and any other dry components first, you create a foundation that can absorb moisture effectively when the wet ingredients are added later. This step is vital as it helps to prevent clumping and ensures that every bite is packed with the same delicious taste.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut butter of choice)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut if using. Stir until well combined.

    Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until fully combined. The mixture should be sticky but firm.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in mini chocolate chips if desired, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Shape the Bites: Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture feels too sticky, lightly wet your hands.

            Chill: Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Serve and Store: Once set, enjoy your energy bites! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
