Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- Combine everything. Add the oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl.
- Mix. Stir with a sturdy spoon until everything is evenly combined and the oats are fully coated. If the mixture feels dry, add a spoonful more peanut butter; if too sticky, a spoonful more oats.
- Roll. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the mixture firmly into 1-inch balls. You should get about 24 bites.
- Chill (optional but better). Place the bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray. No baking needed — they're ready to eat right away, and they firm up even more after 30 minutes in the fridge.
💡 Energy bite tips
Swap the peanut butter for almond or sunflower-seed butter if you need nut-free. Fun add-ins: 2 tbsp ground flaxseed, ¼ cup shredded coconut, or a pinch of cinnamon. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks — or freeze for 2 months for emergency snacks. Each bite is ~130 calories, so two is the perfect pre-workout fuel.
