Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup quick oats Not instant-flavored; just plain quick oats for best texture.
  • ¼ cup peanut butter Creamy or chunky both work; can swap for almond or sunflower seed butter.
  • 2 tablespoons honey Substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Use mini chips for better chocolate distribution; regular chips can be used too.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Measure the quick oats and mini chocolate chips into a medium bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Add the peanut butter and honey to the bowl. Stir the mixture until it is uniform and sticky.
  3. Scoop roughly tablespoon-sized portions, press them together with hands, and roll into about 12 small balls.
  4. If the mixture is too sticky, chill it for 10–15 minutes to firm up before rolling.
  5. Store the energy bites in an airtight container in a single layer, or separated by parchment.
