Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (125g)
- 1/3 cup honey (113g)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (60g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and sea salt.
- Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until sticky but manageable.
- Gently fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop. If too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes before rolling.
- Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store the chilled bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Do not skip chilling the bites to ensure they hold their shape. For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast oats before mixing. Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for best results. Nut-free option: substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. Vegan option: use maple syrup or agave instead of honey and dairy-free chocolate chips.
