Description
These delightful energy bites are packed with wholesome ingredients like rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and sweet chocolate chips, offering a quick and satisfying snack without any baking.
Ingredients
1 cup (90g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (128g) peanut butter
1/3 cup (113g) honey
1/4 cup (43g) chocolate chips
1/4 cup (28g) ground flax seed
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine all ingredients (rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, ground flax seed, and vanilla extract) in a large bowl.
Stir vigorously with a sturdy spatula or spoon until all components are thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is thick and cohesive.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
After chilling, scoop out approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) portions of the mixture and roll them firmly between your palms to form smooth, compact balls.
Place the finished energy bites on a plate or in an airtight container and enjoy immediately or store for later.
Notes
Ensure peanut butter and honey are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Chilling the mixture for at least 30 minutes is crucial for easier rolling and a better texture.
For extra crunch, consider adding a tablespoon of finely chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
