Description
Soft, chewy, and full of natural sweetness, these no-bake Peanut Butter Energy Bites make the perfect quick breakfast, pre-workout snack, or healthy treat on the go.
Ingredients
½ cup quick oats
¼ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Optional: chia seeds, flaxseed, shredded coconut, or chopped dried cranberries
Instructions
1. Mix oats and chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
2. Add peanut butter and honey, stirring until thick and sticky.
3. Use a tablespoon to form 12 evenly sized balls.
4. Let them rest for about 30 minutes for better texture.
5. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating.
Notes
Add a splash of water if the mixture is too dry.
To make them vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup.
Use quick oats for better binding.
Mini chocolate chips ensure chocolate in every bite.
If too sticky, add more oats; if too dry, add more honey.
Bite-sized shapes are best for texture and portability.
Can be shaped into festive forms for special occasions.
