Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds or chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, honey, flaxseeds or chia seeds, and vanilla. Stir until fully combined. Add chocolate chips if using.
- Form Bites: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a scoop. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store and Enjoy: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use creamy nut butter: Microwave slightly if too thick for easier mixing.
- Customize: Add protein powder, dried fruit, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder for variety.
- Chill time is essential: Don’t skip the 30-minute chill or the bites may fall apart.
- Vegan option: Use maple syrup instead of honey and plant-based chocolate chips.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated for 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
