Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional, for extra fiber)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added protein)
Instructions
-
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, flaxseed, vanilla extract, and chia seeds (if using). Stir until everything is evenly mixed together. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
-
Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to roll into bites.
-
Form the Bites:
- Once chilled, use your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dampen your hands with water to help roll.
-
Store:
- Place the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set. Once firm, transfer them to an airtight container.
-
Serve:
- These No-Bake Energy Bites can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Notes
- You can customize these energy bites with your favorite add-ins such as dried fruits (raisins, cranberries), nuts, or seeds.
- If you prefer them sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup.
- For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
