Description
These no-bake oatmeal peanut butter energy bites are chewy, healthy, and perfect for snacking. Quick to make with simple ingredients, they’re great for meal prep, lunchboxes, or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best)
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
½ cup honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Mix the Base – In a large bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until evenly coated.
Add the Extras – Fold in flaxseed or chia seeds and mini chocolate chips, plus any other mix-ins you like.
Chill the Mixture – Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes so the mixture firms up.
Roll Into Bites – Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls (about 20–24 bites).
Store & Enjoy – Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
Too sticky? Add a few more oats. Too dry? Drizzle in a little more honey or nut butter.
For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
Swap honey for maple syrup to make them vegan-friendly.
