  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup almond butter

  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Directions:

I feel like this is too easy here. Put everything in a medium bowl and mix with a large spoon or hands. Once mixed together, refrigerate for 30 minutes and form into 1 inch bites. I didn’t feel like waiting so I made them right away, just a little stickier.
