Print Recipe

These no-bake energy bites combine creamy peanut butter, honey, oats, and dark chocolate chips for a quick, wholesome snack that’s perfect for on-the-go fuel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (125g)
  • 1/3 cup honey (113g)
  • 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips (90g)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (14g) (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, ground flaxseed (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to evenly distribute.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Add creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips gently, about 30 seconds, ensuring they don’t melt or break.
  4. Chill the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up the dough.
  5. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls using your hands, wetting them lightly if sticky. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Place the rolled bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 20 minutes to fully firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter for best texture. Chill dough before rolling to prevent stickiness. Adjust moisture by adding water or more oats if needed. Ground flaxseed is optional but adds fiber and binding. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Can bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes for bars.
