Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (125g)
- 1/3 cup honey (115g)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (90g)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (20g) (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons chia seeds. Stir well until the mixture starts to come together, about 2-3 minutes. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water or more honey; if too sticky, add more oats.
- Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips gently, about 1 minute.
- Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon-sized portion and roll into balls. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Makes about 15-18 bites.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing. Adjust wet and dry ingredients to get the right texture. Chilling is essential to firm up the bites. Can substitute almond butter for peanut butter for allergies. Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free version. Optional add-ins include protein powder, dried fruit, or seeds.
