Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 C oats
• 1/2 C toasted unsweetened coconut
• 1/4 C cocoa powder
• 1/2 C cacao nibs (or regular chocolate chips)
• 1 Tbsp hemp seeds
• 1/2 C ground flaxseed
• 1/3 C raw honey
• 1/2 C coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together oats, coconut, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, hemp seeds and ground flaxseed.
2. In a mixer (or a smaller bowl), cream together the remaining ingredients. Add this to the oat mixture and mix well to completely combine. Add a bit more honey if it feels to dry. 
3. Refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes and then roll into 24 balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. The mixture may be a bit crumbly so pressing them into balls might work better than rolling. As they cool, they will harden up and keep their shape.
4. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
