Quick and easy no-bake energy bites combining peanut butter, oats, and chocolate chips for a healthy, satisfying snack perfect for busy days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (135 g) rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup (190 g) creamy or chunky peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons (14 g) ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed (if using), sea salt, and mini chocolate chips. Stir gently to distribute evenly (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended (about 2 minutes). Warm peanut butter for 15 seconds if stiff.
  3. Pour peanut butter mixture over the oats mixture and fold together with a spatula or spoon until oats are fully coated (3-4 minutes). Add extra honey or peanut butter if too dry.
  4. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon (15 g) portions and roll between palms to form tight balls, yielding 20-24 bites. Wet hands or dust with oats if mixture sticks.
  5. Place bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Alternatively, freeze for 15 minutes for faster setting.
  6. Store energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Thaw before eating if frozen.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter for less sugar and better texture. Chilling is essential to help bites hold together. Mini chocolate chips work better than regular size for even distribution. Variations include swapping honey for maple syrup for vegan option, adding protein powder, or using different nut butters.
