A quick and wholesome no-bake snack combining peanut butter, oats, and honey for a chewy, satisfying energy boost perfect for on-the-go moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (135g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 3/4 cup (190g) natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/3 cup (113g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup (40g) mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Measure out rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and mini chocolate chips if using.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Toss in rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, sea salt, and chocolate chips. Fold gently until mixture holds together but is not overly sticky. Adjust with a teaspoon of water or more honey if too dry, or more oats if too wet.
  4. Shape the bites: Using hands or a cookie scoop, form mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the bites.
  6. Ready to serve: Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best chewiness; quick oats can make bites mushy. Lightly dampen hands with water if mixture sticks when rolling. Chilling is essential for texture and flavor melding. Variations include adding cocoa powder, protein powder, or substituting nut butters for allergies.
