Ingredients:
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds

Once set, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. They can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
