Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 g) natural peanut butter
- 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (85 g) honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (20 g) chia seeds
- 1/2 cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions
- Measure your ingredients.
- Combine the peanut butter and honey in a mixing bowl until smooth and sticky, about 1-2 minutes. Microwave peanut butter for 10 seconds if stiff.
- Add the oats and chia seeds gradually, folding until evenly combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips or raisins gently.
- Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 tablespoon each), yielding 20-24 bites.
- Place the energy bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up (15 minutes in the freezer if in a rush).
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for best flavor. If mixture is too sticky to roll, add oats one tablespoon at a time. Wet hands slightly before rolling to prevent sticking. Chilling is important to firm up the bites. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. Almond or sunflower seed butter can substitute peanut butter for allergies.
