Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) creamy or natural peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups (135 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup (113 g) honey
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of creamy peanut butter with 1/3 cup (113 g) of honey. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Add 1 1/2 cups (135 g) of rolled oats to the mixture. Stir gently until all oats are coated and the texture is thick but pliable. Adjust with a teaspoon of honey or more oats if needed.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
Notes
Use natural peanut butter without added oils for best texture. Chill bites for at least 20 minutes to help them firm up. Adjust honey or oats if mixture is too dry or wet. Optional add-ins include cinnamon, chia seeds, mini chocolate chips, or vanilla extract. For nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
