Description
Quick, wholesome, and packed with protein—these No Bake Energy Bites are made with oats, peanut butter, and honey for the perfect grab-and-go snack.
Ingredients
2½ cups quick cooking oats (about 222.5g)
¾ cup creamy peanut butter (about 202.5g)
¼ cup honey (about 84g)
½ cup mini chocolate chips (about 88.5g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, or protein powder
Instructions
1. Measure and prep all your ingredients before starting for a smooth process.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and mini chocolate chips.
3. Stir until the mixture is thick and well combined. Add any optional mix-ins at this stage.
4. Check the texture: it should be slightly sticky and hold its shape when pressed. Adjust with more oats or peanut butter if needed.
5. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough, then roll into 1-inch balls between your palms.
6. Place rolled bites onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
7. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
For easier rolling, lightly coat your hands with cooking spray or dip them in water. These bites are endlessly customizable—try different nut butters or mix-ins to keep things interesting. Perfect for lunchboxes, post-workout snacks, or a healthy treat anytime.
