1. Add the rolled oats, ground flax or chia seed to a medium sized mixing bowl. If you're making one of the flavors besides the base recipe, add any spices, (like cinnamon) at this time.

2. Add the nut butter, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, and pinch of salt. Stir to combine thoroughly.

3. From here you can portion out the 5-ingredient version, or choose a flavor and add the ingredients listed mixing well.

4. Use a cookie scoop, (I used a #40 which is about 4 teaspoons) or tablespoons from your silverware drawer to portion these out. The different flavors vary slightly, but you will generally have 18-22. A cookie scoop for 1 tablespoon (size 70 with OXO) will yield about 36 bites.

NOTES

Each of these 10 recipes were tested with natural nut butter with no salt or sugar added. I like to use peanut butter for the Monster Cookie because it’s a classic combination. But you can use any nut/seed butter you’d like. Almond and cashew butter are mentioned as my favorite flavor options in the other flavors.

The texture of these energy bites varies a bit depending on the different kinds of nut butter. If it seems too loose, wait 5 minutes or so to see of the flax meal/chia seeds soak up enough, or you can add another ¼ cup of oats.
