Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (135g)
  • ¾ cup natural creamy peanut butter (190g)
  • ⅓ cup honey (113g) or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional)
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (90g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients. Measure out rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, flaxseed, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, chia seeds (if using), and salt.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, salt, and chocolate chips. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture is thick but sticky.
  4. Test the mixture’s consistency by pinching a small amount and rolling it into a ball. If it crumbles, add a teaspoon of honey or peanut butter. If too sticky, add a tablespoon of oats.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of mixture and roll into a compact ball. Place on the tray. Repeat until all mixture is used (about 20 bites).
  6. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  7. Transfer the bites to an airtight container once chilled. Store refrigerated and enjoy within a week.

Notes

Warm peanut butter slightly if too stiff for easier mixing. Chill bites for at least 30 minutes to prevent crumbling. Keep hands damp when rolling to prevent sticking. Freeze for up to one month for longer storage.
