Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what goes into this small-batch recipe:

• ½ cup quick oats — They help the bites hold together and give great texture.
• ¼ cup peanut butter — Creamy or crunchy both work. If you use natural peanut butter, you may need a tiny splash of water to bind everything.
• 2 tablespoons honey — Adds natural sweetness and helps everything stick.
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips — Because chocolate makes everything better.

Optional add-ins: chia seeds, ground flaxseed, shredded coconut, or chopped dried cranberries for extra flavor and texture.

How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine oats and chocolate chips. Starting with the dry ingredients helps keep the peanut butter from sticking to your measuring cups.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

Add peanut butter and honey. Use a sturdy spoon or spatula to mix everything until the texture is thick and sticky.

Step 3: Shape Into Bites

Using a 1-tablespoon scoop or measuring spoon, roll the mixture into 12 even balls. You can eat them immediately, but for the best texture, let them sit for about 30 minutes.

Step 4: Store and Enjoy

• At room temperature: up to 3 days.
• In the fridge: up to 1 week.
• In the freezer: up to 3 months-just thaw before eating.
