Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup quick oats
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the quick oats and mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the peanut butter and honey to the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and sticky enough to hold shape.
- Form balls: Using a spoon, scoop the mixture into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion between your palms to create smooth, round balls.
- Store: Place the energy bites into an airtight container. Store at room temperature or refrigerate if you prefer them chilled. They are ready to eat immediately and can be kept fresh for up to a week.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- For a healthier option, use dark chocolate chips or reduce the amount of chocolate chips.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter to achieve the right consistency.
- These bites can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before eating.
