Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (125g)
  • 1/4 cup honey (85g)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (45g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: Measure out 1 cup (90g) of rolled oats, 1/2 cup (125g) peanut butter, 1/4 cup (85g) honey, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 1/4 cup (45g) mini chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, salt, and chocolate chips. Stir gently to evenly disperse.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spatula until a uniform dough-like mixture forms. Add a teaspoon of water or more honey if too dry.
  4. Form the bites: Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of mixture and roll into tight balls. Place on a lined baking sheet or plate. Repeat until all mixture is used (makes about 15-18 bites).
  5. Chill and set: Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Ready to enjoy: After chilling, bites should be firm but chewy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter for best binding; crunchy peanut butter may cause bites to fall apart. Chilling is essential to firm up the bites and prevent stickiness. Rolling with slightly damp hands helps prevent sticking. Adjust honey amount if peanut butter is too dry or oily. Store in airtight container in fridge up to one week or freeze up to three months.
