Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick cooking)
- 3/4 cup all-natural peanut butter (If your natural peanut butter has been refrigerated and is thick, try popping the measuring cup of peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds)
- 1/3 cup honey (or slightly more if needed to bind mixture together)
- 1/3 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips (I used mini)
- Optional: 1/4 cup wheat bran, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or chia seeds (I used hemp seeds)
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients.
If the dough is sticky, you can refrigerate it for a 2-3 hours or pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes to slightly firm up.
Form the dough into about 24 tablespoon-sized balls and refrigerate for about an hour before enjoying.
To store, place energy bites in a ziploc bag or storage container. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
Notes: Depending on the type of peanut butter you use and its thickness, you may need to add slightly more honey or peanut butter to help the energy bites come together.
