Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites

This is a quick little recipe I whipped up on Friday night to have before my run on Saturday. I knew I wanted a small hit of carb and plenty of good-quality fat. I used virgin coconut oil, natural peanut butter, almonds, flaxseeds, and some additions for deliciousness. I don't have a photo because I can't seem to keep my hands off them long enough to photograph them.

They are mildly addicting, so I keep them in the freezer (they melt fairly quickly at room temp) and only eat them one or two at a time.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Melt together:

80g honey

45g peanut butter

25g coconut oil

Add to:

20g cocoa powder

30g ground flaxseeds

75g sliced almonds

27g chopped dark chocolate

1/4 tsp salt

Mix everything together and press into a parchment-lined container. I used a 4"x4" plastic container. Refrigerate overnight, then cut into 16 pieces. Store uneaten bites in the freezer.
