Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup quick oats Can substitute with rolled oats pulsed briefly in a blender.
  • ¼ cup peanut butter Creamy or crunchy; natural may make mixture looser.
  • 2 tablespoons honey Maple syrup for a vegan-friendly swap.
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Can use dark, milk, or dairy-free chips.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Measure the quick oats and mini chocolate chips into a medium mixing bowl and stir to distribute the chips evenly.
  2. Add the peanut butter and honey. Use a sturdy spoon or spatula to combine until the mixture is uniform and slightly sticky.
  3. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of honey or a splash of nut milk; if too wet, add a tablespoon of oats.
Forming Energy Bites
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms into compact balls. Press firmly so they hold together.
  2. Arrange the bites in an airtight container.
Storage
  1. Store at room temperature for a day or two, or refrigerate for up to 1 week for a firmer, chilled snack.

Notes

Chill mixture briefly if peanut butter is runny before rolling. Sunflower seed butter can replace peanut butter one-to-one for nut-free diets.
