Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cups (120 ml) creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cups (60 ml) honey
Flavor Enhancers:
- 0.25 teaspoons (1.25 ml) ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons (1.25 ml) vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups (60 ml) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend rolled oats, smooth peanut butter, miniature chocolate chips, golden honey, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract until the ingredients form a cohesive, sticky mixture.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, carefully shape the mixture into uniform spheres approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter, ensuring each energy bite is compact and well-formed.
- Arrange the freshly rolled energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each sphere to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the energy bites to chill and solidify for 30 to 45 minutes, which will help them maintain their shape and enhance their texture.
- Once sufficiently chilled, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container, placing a sheet of parchment paper between layers to prevent them from adhering to each other.
- Store the container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, ensuring a quick and nutritious snack is always within reach.
Notes
- Packed with wholesome ingredients, these energy bites are perfect for quick morning boosts or post-workout snacks.
- Customize the recipe by swapping chocolate chips for dried fruits or adding chia seeds for extra nutrition.
- Keep stored bites fresh for up to a week in the refrigerator, making meal prep super convenient.
- Sticky mixture might feel messy during rolling, but slightly dampening hands helps create smoother energy balls.
- No baking required means less kitchen cleanup and faster preparation time.
- Kids and adults alike will love these protein-rich, sweet treats that satisfy hunger between meals.
