- 1.5 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if preferred)
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.33 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
How to make No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Energy Bites
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups rolled oats, 2 tbsp chia seeds, and 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips. Stir them together until well distributed.
- Add 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter, 0.33 cup honey or maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a thick, uniform dough forms. Ensure there are no dry spots remaining.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a tiny bit more peanut butter or honey (1 tsp at a time) until it comes together easily. If it's too wet, add a tablespoon of extra oats.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a compact, bite-sized ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Arrange the finished energy bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking while they chill.
- Place the energy bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This chilling time helps them hold their shape and improves their texture.
- Once chilled, the energy bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
