Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats (222.5 grams)
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (202.5 grams)
  • 1/4 cup honey (84 grams)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (88.5 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick cooking oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, mini chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and form a sticky dough.
  2. Shape Bites: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place each formed ball onto a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. This will help them hold their shape and improve the texture when eating.
  4. Serve and Store: Once chilled, enjoy these energy bites as a quick snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
  • For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Add-ins like chia seeds, flax seeds, or shredded coconut can be included for extra nutrition.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more oats to reach the desired consistency.
  • Energy bites can also be frozen for up to one month; just thaw before eating.
