Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chia seeds
2 tbsp sesame seeds, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup puffed rice cereal
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
2 tbsp flaxseed meal (for added protein)

In a large bowl, mix oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, 1 tbsp of the sesame seeds, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and protein powder (if using) until smooth.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Fold in puffed rice cereal for crunch.
Use a tablespoon to form 16 small bites (size of golf balls).
Sprinkle remaining 1 tbsp sesame seeds over bites.
