Scale
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, melted
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup honey, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the old fashioned oats, melted creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, melted honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl. Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture sticks together.
- Form Energy Bites: Using a mini ice cream scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 15 evenly sized balls. Make sure they are compact to hold together well.
- Chill: Place the energy bites in the refrigerator and let them chill until they are firm and ready to eat, about 30 minutes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 10 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add an extra drizzle of honey to improve binding.
- To make bars instead of bites, press the mixture into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper, refrigerate until firm, and then cut into bars.
- Add mini M&Ms or sprinkles to the mixture for a colorful and fun variation, especially enjoyable for kids.
