Scale
Energy Bites Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini M&Ms
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, natural peanut butter, honey, mini chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture until well combined. If the mixture is too sticky, add more oats; if too dry, add more peanut butter or honey to achieve the right consistency.
- Chill the Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes to help it firm up and make rolling easier.
- Form Energy Bites: Roll the chilled mixture into small bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Set the Bites: Arrange the energy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow them to set completely.
- Store Properly: Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness or texture by adding more honey or oats as needed.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or another nut/seed butter of choice for variation.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- Energy bites can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months; thaw before eating.
- Mix-ins like dried fruit, nuts, or seeds can be added for extra flavor and texture.
