Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Start by measuring out all your ingredients. This will make the mixing process much smoother and help you stay organized.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients - Next, add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla essence to the dry mixture. Use a wooden spoon to combine everything well. The mixture should start to come together and form a sticky dough.
Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Drops - Gently fold in the dark chocolate drops, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Roll into Bites - Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Aim for about 1 inch in diameter. Place each rolled bite on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6: Chill and Set - Once all the bites are rolled, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.
Step 7: Enjoy! - After chilling, your Cookie Dough Energy Bites are ready to enjoy! You can keep them stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a weekâor even longer if you freeze them!
