No Bake Peanut Butter Energy Bites (Printable)

Chewy, energy-boosting bites made with oats, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Ready in 15 minutes, perfect for healthy snacking.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 cup rolled oats

02 - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

03 - 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

04 - 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

05 - 1/4 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds

06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

07 - Pinch of salt

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed or chia seeds, and salt.

02 - Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl.

03 - Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and a sticky dough forms.

04 - Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

05 - Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.

06 - Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture.

01 -

They come together in literally fifteen minutes with zero cooking required
The texture is somehow both chewy and tender, like a cookie dough you can eat without guilt
They actually keep you full, thanks to the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and slow burning carbs

02 -

If your mixture feels too dry and crumbly, add another teaspoon of honey or peanut butter until it holds together when squeezed
Letting the mixture rest for 10 minutes before rolling makes it much easier to work with, as the oats absorb some of the moisture
These taste completely different at room temperature versus cold from the fridge, so try both ways to see which texture you prefer

03 -

Use a cookie scoop with a release mechanism for perfectly uniform bites without sticky hands
Double the recipe and freeze half, because these disappear faster than you expect
