NO-BAKE ENERGY BITES
This is a healthy take on the traditional no bake cookies. So good and good for you! I am always asked for this recipe every time I make them. They are a hit with the kids and the adults, and always go quick! I store them in the freezer because I think they taste best frozen, but not necessary.

VALENCIA PEANUT AND FLAX SEED BUTTER
A Trader Joes' copycat recipe. Their version is unsweetened. You can add some sugar if you wish. The ratio of peanuts to flax seeds is about 75/25 but that is a wild guess. Being a copycat recipe all ingredients are estimated. Conveniently and luckily, I can find organic peanuts and flax seeds (from Bob's Red Mill) in bulk at our local natural food store.

Steps:
- Roast the peanuts either on the stove top or in the oven until golden brown, adding the flax seeds the last 6-8 minutes of roasting. Be *very careful* not to burn the peanuts or flax seeds! Stir often! I would recommend stove top roasting with this step (a cast iron skillet being ideal). After roasting, set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the peanuts and flax seeds in a food processor or blender and blend to desired consistency adding a little bit of oil to help blend the butter smoothly. Season with salt, to taste. Optional: Add sugar if desired, to desired sweetness.
- Transfer the mixture to a container and cover (I use a recycled canning jar). We keep the nut/seed mixture refrigerated.
- Stir the nut/seed butter each time before spreading to distribute the oils.

Steps:
- Combine the honey, coconut oil, cocoa powder and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the coconut oil is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the peanut butter and stir until completely melted, another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the oats. Cover with a lid for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir in the raisins, 1/3 cup of the coconut and the flaxseeds, wheat germ or chia seeds.
- Use a round tablespoon to scoop, then level, the mixture. Sprinkle with some of the remaining coconut and press lightly onto the cookie. Use a small offset spatula to gently coax the cookie onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, coconut-side down. The mixture will be a little delicate and sticky at this point. Lightly flatten the cookie with the spatula or your fingers. Repeat this process with the remaining cookie mixture, to make about 20 cookies total.
- Refrigerate the cookies on the baking sheet until they are completely chilled, at least 30 minutes. These cookies are best served very chilled.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender: This will ensure that the peanut and flax seed butter is smooth and creamy.
- Roast the peanuts before using: This will enhance their flavor and make them easier to blend.
- Add a little bit of salt to taste: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the peanut and flax seed butter.
- Use the peanut and flax seed butter in various recipes: It can be used as a spread on sandwiches or toast, added to smoothies or oatmeal, or used in baking.
- Store the peanut and flax seed butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator: It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Peanut and flax seed butter is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional peanut butter. It is easy to make at home using a food processor or high-powered blender. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, peanut and flax seed butter can be used in various recipes, from sandwiches and toast to smoothies and baking.
