Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (135g) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (130g) natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (85g) honey
- 2 tablespoons (14g) ground flaxseed (optional)
- 1/4 cup (45g) mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats and 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed in a mixing bowl and stir to distribute evenly.
- Add 1/2 cup natural peanut butter and 1/4 cup honey to the bowl and mix thoroughly until well combined and slightly crumbly.
- Fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into 1-inch diameter balls. Place on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
If the mixture is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before rolling. If too dry, add a teaspoon of honey or peanut butter. Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter for best results. Chilling is essential to help bites hold their shape.
