These no-bake peanut butter granola bites are the perfect quick and easy snack for lunchboxes, playdates, or any time you need a delicious treat. Made with simple pantry ingredients, they’re kid-approved and parent-approved.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup granola, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal. Stir until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Mix thoroughly, using your hands if needed, until the mixture holds together when squeezed. If too dry, add a tablespoon of peanut butter or honey; if too sticky, add a tablespoon of oats.
  4. Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the mixture into uniform balls.
  5. Lightly wet your hands with water and roll each portion into a smooth ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for best texture, until firm.
  7. Optional: Press a few extra mini chocolate chips or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before setting.

Notes

For best results, use natural peanut butter (stirred well). The bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months. The flavors improve after a day in the fridge. If your kitchen is warm, chill the mixture for 10 minutes before rolling to prevent stickiness.
